Day 20: My First Day

"Welcome to the KP jungle!" ~Bapa Jimmy.

[I'm not that white, I promise. Ok ok, maybe I am. :( Spring, where you at? ]

Last time I spoke with HR, I was not scheduled to start working today; however, I received a morning call from my manager asking me if I can come in at 11am. It was already 9:30, so I rushed to get ready. Side note: the weather was quite weird today. Sun, clouds, rain, wind. I got to work by 10:45am and was introduced to the entire staff. Turns out that I actually recognized the employee I am replacing! She was a former Health Sciencer, c/o '08. Small world.

Today, I basically observed the Health Education Assistants & volunteers. I was even able to help a few members because it got so busy in the department! When members come, they come in spurts of about four or five at a time. It was a bit overwhelming.

The HED in SC is definitely larger than the Mt. View facility. There is so much to learn, and to be honest, I'm quite nervous. I know it will take time and they're not expecting me to know everything by the first week.

Important dates to remember:
March 9-12 Jury Duty
March 15 & 16 New Employee Orientation
April 19-23 Training at Santa Teresa

That's all for now! Pray that I don't have to report to Jury Duty this week. Thanks. Don't buy lunch, pack lunch!
