Walking This World: Working 9 to 5

Well Hellooooooo!

I'm am using some of the free time I have on my day off to write an update for all of you. The last time I wrote, I had just found out I finally had a job. Well, now I have been working there a week and, let me tell you, it is wonderfully rewarding to be a busy little bee once again.

I started work last Thursday at 11 a.m. and was immediately thrown into the thick of things. I didn't have an employee ID number, nor had I done any of the paperwork, but they started me any way! Basically, my job has me bouncing between working at the textbook desk and the cash register. Work text means that I help patrons fill out special order forms, shelve books that have come in, shelve books that are special orders that need to be picked up, and assure patrons that we will call them when their books are in. The cash register is more methodical and less hectic, but you're in charge of money, which always has a certain stress level attached. But both tasks are great and keep me running all day. I go in, work work work, and then, when I look at the clock, it's time for lunch/go home!

Classes are still going well. I have a presentation to give in my registration class tonight over a topic that has popped up on the listserv for registrars of the American Association of Museums. I'm taking in two, just in case the other presenter today took mine. I finally buckled and ordered the registration books from Amazon and I'm just waiting for them to arrive. Luckily, my buddy Stephanie got them first, so I borrowed hers to at least start catching up. I've also started writing a paper for my History and Theory class on a particular museum. Thank goodness I have a pretty good connection at a certain Kansas museum, so guess which one my paper's about? :D

That about catches you all up for this week. I hope things don't get too boring now that I have a job and a regular schedule. I'll try and do something random/fun every week just to keep you all hooked!

XOXO,
