So... yesterday, my one year mark moving to Durham...
Today, one year mark of starting this job.
Whoa, how time can fly and crawl all at the same time.
I am having a hard time believing that I have been here one year. I mean... whoa. In that time, I have had five or six managers... about a dozen different assignments... whoa.
It was a weird first day. I got here at 9 (which, PS, no one confirmed that was the time I was supposed to arrive... I just did). And then, I sat in Bill's office all day. I didn't meet one soul... although I kept seeing people walk to and from the file cabinets. But, it was just weird... it was almost as if none of them were in the office that day anyway.
The only person I did meet was Bobbi (also still not here)... and she took me on a LONG walk to the ID office and got my ID... which PS, my picture is hideous. But all good ID pictures should be hideous, right?
Then, after looking at clinical research websites on line to "help me understand what I am doing" (which, it didn't), Bill sent me home... early... to allow me time to apartment hunt. Or really, he was tired of entertaining me and they had nothing for me to do. I still shake my head at that one... why did I have to get down here sooo quickly, if really, I have never been that busy, nor had that much to do?
Oh well... that is ok. I have learned alot... about clinical research. And, it hasn't been that bad.
I love all the people I have met... it has been great. God surrounded me with some amazing Christians as well as just fun people. We laugh a ton... and we have fun together. Really, could you ask for more. Working with people my own age has had a lot of advantages... built in social circle... that has been a saving grace.
So, all in all... while, I don't love the job... it has been a good thing. Or, that is what I am saying today ;-).
