Today was my first day at the new job... and man, it was overwhelming but at the same time, totally boring.
I arrived early, but had to wait outside until one of the 2 other girls got there. I walked in and was told I could put my stuff at the desk at the back. I expected to have a bunch of paperwork to fill out, you know, the typical first day stuff, but they hadn't sent anything for me as of yet...
Since today was my first day I didn't have any login information for any of the programs we use, like the flight reservation or the accounting software. Both programs are somewhat daunting, because they are unlike anything I've had to use before. I guess what makes them more intimidating is the use of codes and weird letter combos to look things up, more of a DOS system which isn't intuitive, but will require more memorization.
I'm one of those people who learn by doing though, so I couldn't even play around on the programs, trying out different things due to the lack of a login... hopefully one of these days this week I can actually use the program and give it a go.
I felt like a knob when people came in and asked for information on flights here or there, because as much as I'd love to help them, I have no idea how... so I sold bus tickets to people and fun stuff like that. Whoot! hahah.
Soon, I expect, they will have the online training program available to me. Hopefully that helps.
I'm a fast learner, I'm sure it won't take me long to figure it all out... but until that day comes I totally feel like I'm over my head.
