Anyway- back to my first day... it went very well! Even before work we had to go back to the DMV this morning at 7:45 to re-take the written exam to get a Hawaiian driver's license (yeah, that's right... we both failed it the first time around). So I re-took the test and passed with flying colors and got my Hawaii state driver's license!!
So after we left the DMV, Daland dropped me off at work at around 9:15 (a little bit of a late start, but work is pretty flexible). Basically the first half of the day was just getting set up with computer/IT stuff and getting my temporary badge (ID) to get in and out of the office. They have to do a background investigation on me before they can give me my official badge. Then I got to go rummage through the supply closet and stock my desk. After all the setting up, waiting for the IT guys to get me logged onto my computer network and internet, and transferring all my pertinent files from my laptop and E-mail to my new computer, I finally started "working!" I met the other ladies that are working in the room with me (in other cubicles) and each of us is working on a completely separate Endangered Species Act petition. They both seem very nice and seemingly in the same age range as me (probably a few years older).

See my shout-out to RSMAS? Love you, RSMOIDS!
Overall, my first day went as well as it possibly could have. I feel pretty comfortable and everyone seems very friendly and all "very excited" to have me on board working on this monster petition response. In other news, our Honda Civic (aka Little Black Shadow) arrived at the port this morning! Yay!!!! So at some point this week we will have to go pick her up. So excited to have my little hoon-mobile back. Well, that's pretty much it for today. Is it too early to say I'm glad it's only a 4 day work week? hahahaha!!!
Love,

Aloha Chel,
ReplyDeleteSweeeet! Your office looks very nice. What does it say on the name plate under your name? I don't think your desk will look so neat once you get digging into your project. I can't believe that you both failed your drivers test. Now thats funny right there! The Hawaiian drivers license is so very colorful. Were you able to keep your Florida one? So glad your car is there...look it over real good for damages. (It's come a long way) Your other little black shadow(Roxy) is doing just fine. We found her little soccer ball when I was cleaning your room and it has become her octopus replacement. Keep up the good work on your blog...I'm an avid follower and your biggest FAN. Love the pictures...want to see your apt furniture!!!
Love and Miss you HEAPS!
