Week Two down

Last week marked week 2 of my new job. It is going great. Learning LOTS. Have had 3 days of training and did a workshop.

The guys have been fantastic to do stuff for. They are very understanding with how little time we have had (we meaning Eve, Rhonda and myself) actually doing the work that we were hired to do.

We have caught the payroll department up completely now (filing - checking the daily timesheets, etc.) so they are starting to cross train us on the actual payroll work. This is a great boost to all of us - and something else great to put on our resumes.

We also found out that we were not hired on a temp contract basis as we were told in our interview. We have been put on as permanent timekeepers. Which means that when this job is finished in August - we will be asked to go to the next build.

That build is in Fort Saskatchewan (same distance from home for me) and is scheduled for completion in 2010. So that means another 3 years of work.

That is great for all 3 of us.

It is nice. The kids were a little put out about it because:

Shayne - no job for him because I will not be here to drive him back and forth;

Bailey - again no extra activities unless she wants to continue with bowling.

When I put it to them like this:

Mom working means more funds coming into the house - which in turn means the greater possibility of great "winter vacations".

Then they were very happy.
