How it goes in Paris
Jun. 7th, 2008 10:41 pmI finished my first week of working in the office yesterday. It was tiring and exhilarating. I'm doing some busy work to begin with. But it's important busy work. Cleaning out, organizing, and completing employee files. It's one of those jobs that would save a lot of time if anyone ever had the time to do it kind of thing. Since I don't have a set job, I'm free to take on those sorts of projects. And I get caught up in some of the regular work too, just by being there and being back-up phone person, and since I'm in a little offset of the front office I get caught by customers too. I was slow getting back into the swing of both remembering the job and of getting up every day and going to work all day. But over all it was a good week.
And I'm managing not to hover around the boy, and he's not coming to look for me. He's been busy learning some software for drawing surveys that uses AutoCad as its basis. He's really impressed them all. He managed to actually get a drawing done AND printed by Thurs. He'd started on it Tuesday, but my mother assured me that the last draftsman, who had been there a year, still took one day to complete a drawing. He's really there to do some drawings for the Highways dept, but the data isn't coming in as fast as it should. So in the mean time, mother's hoping he can help the Boundaries dept. get caught up. They're short a draftsman, so things are backing up in the office.
Around the house we do a LOT of relaxing. And just sitting and watching of kittens. They are fostering seven (who unfortunately are now old enough to leave to be adopted tomorrow) and another that someone gave them who will stay. I have pictures, I'll try to get some off the camera.
