Short day
I was only at work an hour today. I guess the computer they ordered for me isn’t here yet. Kinda hard to work without a computer. So, I filled out paperwork … Kelly gave me a brief tour and introduced me to everyone (I already forgot most of their names … I shoulda written ‘em down). Then I came home. She said she thinks I won’t start ’til Wednesday … depends on the computer situation. She said she’d call me tonite and update me.
It’s a small office. I’m the only female programmer. There are 3 other females there … Kelly, Laura, and Sara … but that’s it for the number of women. There were about 9 or 10 males (can’t remember exact count now). The women are definitely out numbered. But Kelly said that for the first few years, she was the only female there.
The dress is casual. I can wear jeans, or shorts, and t-shirts … as long as they’re not ragged and dirty. That will be nice. I’ll at least be comfortable in my clothes. And I could even roam around the office with my shoes off if I wanted too … as long as I wore socks. Now THAT’S casual … LOL.
And I don’t have to worry about parking … that’s paid by the company. Woohoo. I was worried about that. The company only pays for half of the health insurance (it kicks in after 3 months), but that’s okay. It’s better than having no insurance. And they cover all of dental. I might even be able to get some training paid for by the company.
I don’t think I’ll be able to enroll in classes for this fall … not sure if it’s too late or not, but I don’t have the finances right now to do it (even with financial aid, there would still be other expenses … not sure if financial aid would cover a computer upgrade … I’d need Windows XP Pro and I only have the Home edition). But there are classes at the Skills and Tech center in town that I’ve been looking into (I’ve been looking into them for quite a while now … haven’t had the money to take them in the past).
okay
