Hey Guys,

I just wanted to share with all of you that I got a job! Just goes to show that the hotel just wasn't meant to be, this pays much better and is in a safer environment.

I'm really nervous but also excited - I haven't worked in a year and this is full-time hours starting early (between 8-9AM depending on your shift) where my body is used to getting up no earlier than noon. So that'll take some adjustment.

I'm working for a major medical manufacturing company (they make hospital beds, wheelchairs, respirators etc), I'm not 100% what the job entails but it's a multi-tasking kind of job. Basically I liase with sales associates from all over North America and ensure the orders get processed. Sometimes that's all done over the computer, sometimes via email, telephone, regular snail mail. I'll have to go into the factory sometimes and deal with issues there...but I get my own desk(!) and my own "accounts" to deal with which is pretty exciting after 3 1/2 years of working in a call centre.

So, I start tomorrow (they didn't give me much notice) so please everyone think happy thoughts for me! I haven't had a chance to try and reintroduce caffeine and I'm certainly not going to try my first day at work just in case, so I'll have to make it these next 3 days without any help...so good thoughts would be appreciated.
