Ruth, a young woman who works in our building in the reception area, was on the same bus so we talked. And then walked the several blocks to the office. Ruth told me she was a temp and her job at the business centre was ending soon. She’s a very nice person and does a good job. I told her if something came up—we’d keep her in mind—that one of the reasons I was here was to help the office look at itself and see what we need to run an efficient operation.
The day was really busy but because everyone was in the office, including the two PSIs, Kev and Mandy, I only took one call all day and was able to get a lot done. It’s difficult for me to get used to being in a “bullpen” environment. I’ve been spoiled for too many years with an office. In many ways I really like it. There’s no excuse for anyone not knowing what’s going on in the office…because we all can hear everything.
Toward the end of the day Simon and I did more telephone interviews and filled up 11 February with interviews in Dublin. Hope my work status is cleared up by then so I can fly.
The day was rewarding and fun—I enjoy working in the office.
At home I took it easy. “Talked” to Jill via IM and used my webcam even though the connection was painfully slow. She said the kids will be thrilled to see Grandma. We made plans to connect via IM tomorrow. Night for me, afternoon for them. I can’t wait.
