Is it still a "new" job after a month???

It sure feels like it. The days seem to be either getting longer or shorter - depending on how much work there is and how well I have slept the night before.

We finally are set up in our office. We are all together - which is new. But we got new desks, computer monitors, keyboards and SUPPLIES!!! It sure is nice not to have to worry about things like that at this place.

We also got our "assignments". We will be starting to put in all the employees (DFL - Direct Field Labor) timesheets on a daily basis. There are currently just over 1800 men working for Bantrel at the Refinery. They are starting to "man up" (meaning hire more workers to get the job complete on time) - and we should have just under 3000 men by then.

This means a lot of work for us timekeepers. They have actually asked us to put out feelers for 2 more - one for day shift and one for night shift.

It will be a big learning curve this week again with the new process. This new process also means working 6 days a week - which sucks cause I won't be home to get much done or play with the horses much but the paycheques will be FANTASTIC.
