Monday Morning…(Day 1)<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
7:30 am<\/b>: Okay, I\u2019m ready to go. Lunch: Check; Snack: Check; Notebook: Check; What else am I missing? Oh right, keys. I should get there a little early, I\u2019m excited to see what they have in store for me. I wonder who I will be working with. I hope they are nice, anyone who works in Human Resources has to be patient, right? I mean I can\u2019t imagine what types of issues and people they encounter and solve problems for throughout the week.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7:58 am:<\/b> Perfect timing, a little on the early side to settle in before I start. I get my own cubicle and computer, I must make sure I write down my password to get in. I know I am going to forget it at some point during the day…<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9:30 am:<\/b> Wait was it a 2 or a 3 at the end of my password to get into my computer? Should I ask someone? I don\u2019t want to bother anyone. Oh okay, good, my boss is back. She was nice about it. Need to write that password down.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9:45 am:<\/b> I\u2019m getting a phone call; how do you answer when you pick up? Do I say my full name? Only my first name? What comes first, the name of the department I work in or my name? I hope no one can hear me on the phone. I have to pay attention to how the woman next to me answers her phone so I know what to do.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 11:00 am: <\/b>First official meeting done, everyone seems very nice and open. I don\u2019t know how I am going to remember all of these names. I should write them down. Oh no, another call. I should transfer the call to the other woman in my department. How do I do that? Wait, what\u2019s her number? What\u2019s my number?? I know I have it written down. I should put a sticky note next to the phone of the phone numbers I should know.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 12:30 pm<\/b>: Okay, Lunch. I can do this, I prepared for this. Does everyone eat lunch on their own? Should I just sit here at my desk? Is that inappropriate? I hope no one can smell my lunch, I would hate to be the one to stink up the office.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1:00 pm<\/b>: Why didn\u2019t I write down the phone numbers! Where did I find them last time\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2:30 pm:<\/b> I\u2019m starting on my first project! It should take me a while to get through. I don\u2019t feel like I should be trusted with so much insider information about the company and employees. Yesterday I was just a regular Challenge Detroit Fellow, today I have the ability to access every company-related detail about any employee in the company.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5:00 pm:<\/b> Okay, not such a bad day. I like where I sit, I didn\u2019t screw anything up and I actually made some friends. Time to do it all again tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Monday Morning…(Day 1) 7:30 am: Okay, I\u2019m ready to go.
