Dear Blog: New Job!

After a decently stressful English class (we were told to write a summary in class of something we hadn't explicitly been assigned to read, heh) I got to run back to the library to start my new job. It's nice to be somewhere familiar for a change, heh. So, for the first 2 hours, my boss went over a bunch of the administration tools and passwords and stuff like that, then he went home and I sat around staring at the phone for a while waiting for people to have problems. That didn't work too well, so I wandered around for a while saying hello to other staff people and stuff, asking if they had any computer problems. Sigh, no luck. So I went back down to the basement and poked around and organized my desk (I get a desk! Whee!) for a bit. Then I got a phone call! Happy joy excitement! Even though it was only a patron trying to figure out how to put files on her flash drive, it was still something. But oh well. I get to start on some projects that will keep me busy tomorrow, or something.

But I think it'll be a great job. I liked shelving books enough, and computer stuff can't be nearly as tedious.

Oh, and I was talking to someone in my class who said that his dorm floor has LAN parties all day and stuff. Sigh. Not fair. But I guess I have to figure that the experience (and money, for that matter) that I'll gain from the tech job isn't worth the money it would cost to stay on campus and play LAN parties and not study and flunk out of college or something.
