3rd May
My first day! After a brief introduction and walk around the offices, I am shown to my desk. Quite impressive really, my own computer and everything! There is even a stationary room at my disposal, reminds me of how much I love Office Works.
My supervisor is not here for my first day so I am inducted by the Communications Manager. Unfortunately my first task is the tedious one of helping with the mail out, booo! But at least it’s not only me, pretty much everyone chips in to help.
I am then introduced to File Maker Pro, oh the joy. My job is to begin updating a database of over 7000 contacts, which clearly hasn’t had too much love over the years. I am to begin with the email database as we got about 150 bounce backs after emailing a survey out to Regional Galleries and Museums across NSW. This will take a few days me thinks…

ReplyDeleteKate ... so don't worry. Similar happened to me. They need to get a feel of what you are capable of and before you know it you may not be longing for mail out envelope stuffing, but after a long day of responsibility, quite happy to sit still and stuff envelopes while staring blankly into space :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah it is kind of good if you feel like zoning out for a while...
ReplyDeletemail-outs.....I have been doing them since my first day and fours years later, I'm still doing them! I wonder if I will have to do them forever ?? :)
