I started my new job on Monday. It's only Tuesday, but I'm telling you right now it feels like I've lived about a week and a half already.
I had completely forgotten how difficult it is to learn a new job. It's basically the exact same job I just left as far as tasks. The exhausting part is learning how this particular firm accomplishes those tasks. The amount of information - the passcodes alone - that I have to now remember is astounding (to me.) I've got stickie notes in places they were never meant to be.
Mr. Zoom is there, thank goodness. I don't get to see him during the day since he's on a different floor. At some point there will probably be something his department will handle for mine, but what he does daily is so far removed from what I do daily, that it will be easy to maintain our distance at the office.
It forces me to reach out a little bit to co-workers [strangers] that I'd normally avoid while hoping I could "figure it out" on my own. I still do try and figure things out on my own, but I'm not as hesitant to seek someone's assistance if I've got the one person who loves me no matter what just 6 floors away if I need him. Im sure that makes zero sense to normal people.
I won't be able to check in on you guys or even update until I feel like I'm starting to "get it" at the office. Even after work I've been able to do little more than hoover some dinner down and then fall into bed. Apparently I can not be made so tired that I can not eat.
Everyone keep writing and have a good November.

Wishing you the best!
GOOD LUCK! You will be missed and checked on regularly. Send up the bloglight if you need us. Meanwhile, a parting thought:
"...but I'm not as hesitant to seek someone's assistance if I've got the one person who loves me no matter what just 6 floors away if I need him." This makes perfect sense to me; I have even lived it before. Surely this doesn't surprise you. ;)
I sometimes feel the utter comfortableness of having a job I know inside and out is one of the things keeping me where I am..learning a whole new job is rather intimidating.
Heh, must be why I've tended to stay at my last two jobs for ten years each or so. :)
Good luck in your new job, Zoooom!
If it was possible to work so hard that I would not eat I would that hard every day. You will be missed but I know you will be great at your job in a couple of weeks.

Good luck with your new adventures! I'll be sure to come back and visit periodically, just to see if you've had a spare moment to post. :)
Come on, you can do it,

I started my new job 2 yrs ago
and learned a whole new industry
in 3 months.
..and prior to that, thought I was brain dead and couldn't learn anymore.
Still nothing, huh? Okay. I'll wait.
