New job...beginning tomorrow

 However...it's not a teaching job....it's actually at Toshiba where my mom also works.....

Today my mom woke me up with her phone call telling me to go on line and to email her my resume b/c her manager was asking if I had found a job yet or not....so...I emailed her my resume....an hour later my mom calls and tells me to come to the office by 12 p.m. to fill out an application....so...i jumped in the shower and rummaged through my room for some office attire to wear (haven't wore that type of clothing in years!!!)

Once I was ready I drove all the way to Irvine and when I got there my mom came out and took me to the office.  I then was introduced to a few of her co-workers and was eventually taken to the HR supervisor to fill out the application.  Well....little did I know that I was not only filling out the application, but also the W2 form as well as papers saying that I was receiving my work handbooks....once all of that was completed....I was told I would start tomorrow.  So....there I am...wondering what the hell is going on...b/c as far as I can tell...I never interviewed.....yup...completely flabbergasted (is that the right word?).  Well....I was then given directions to the clinic for my drug testing =)  (gotta make sure I'm clean =) ::crosses fingers::) and then I had to get my badge as well as my car decal thingie so that I could park in their parking lot w/o fear that my car would be towed away. 

Afterwards...my mom and I left to have lunch (by then it was 2 p.m.) and I still had no idea what I was going to be doing nor how much I would be making.  Basically I'm on a trial period and eventually I'll be hired on if it's what I want and what they want.......so..we'll see.  I can probably work there until the teaching situation improves =)  Or...until I find something else =)  During lunch my mom and I talked about what happened.....(she still couldn't believe it...b/c they had only told her to tell me to come in to just do the app....not that I was hired on w/o even being seen =P )  and we both told my dad and then I called Ben to tell him.  When we got back to the office, I went to the HR supervisor again and asked her about the salary and the position, since I still had no idea....Well...the amount I'll be getting paid is good and the position is "Employee Administrator." =) Muahahahaha >=)  Turns out the person I'm replacing is the Team Leader......hmm......I'm going to have to kick butt tomorrow on my first day and make sure I learn everything I need to =P  Since I'm going to be doing export and not import which is what I'm used to doing.  

Well....since I had to do fill out all the stuff for the job.....I had to locate my social security card...however....no luck >=P  So...now I have to see if I can have some time during the week to go and get a new replacement card....b/c...I figure it's probably easier to get a new card...then to try and figure out where it was I last put that blasted card >=P  sigh....

So...tomorrow....first day of new job......

Yay, congrats on getting the new job. Though what are you exporting for Toshiba? Time to celebrate, yes? How was the first day on the job?
