Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

Day One of new, actual new job that I'll be staying in for a while. Honest.

New job goes well. I am now very tired from smiling at everyone and laughing at people's little jokes. There seems to be real coffee and chocolate on tap around the building. Everyone seems very cheery, especially my boss, of whom everyone I spoke to about swore that she is the nicest woman ever to walk the planet Earth.

The girl whose job I'm taking over is still there for this week, so I don't have a computer or a place to sit. The idea is that she is going to show me the ropes before she goes, so that I can, in the words of my recruitment officer from the employment agency "hit the ground running". The wisdom of having a 'handing over' period is great, of course, but I think that possibly four day's worth is stretching the point somewhat. There's only so many ways you can explain the filing system to a person before you start going mental.
