Cubicle Sweet Cubicle

I don’t know about you all, but my job hunt proved successful! Not only have I received multiple offers of babysitting and petsitting gigs, but I also got a full time office job.

So from 8-5 Monday through Friday, I sit at a double-monitor computer in a wobbly chair, surrounded by gray walls. Despite the boring atmosphere, I’m actually really enjoying it. I have fun coworkers, we get free access to soda pop machines, I’m making above minimum wage, AND I can even get overtime pay for working extra, which pays 50% more per hour! I also get weekends and evenings free – a huge perk!

Really, the biggest downside is that when I get home, I don’t feel like staring at a computer screen – hence my lack of posts!

If any of you are still on the search, don’t give up. I asked about this same job before summer started and they said they weren’t hiring. It wasn’t until just a couple of weeks ago that they contacted me again – this time with better news.

And for everyone else who is working, don’t forget to enjoy some homework free downtime. School is just a couple of months away…!

The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.     -Robert Frost

I Survived…

ENROLLMENT!

Freshman enrollment is a very exciting time. Despite the frustrations of many people logging into one server simultaneously, it is a very entertaining experience. I spent Monday night anticipating the second the clock struck midnight! Instantly, all of the freshmen at Phi Mu, along with the rest of the freshman class, logged into our Baker Portals (our student system) and began the enrollment process. It was very very entertaining to see a group of girls spread out between our formal room, dining room, and library yelling at their computers and blasting music into the wee hours of the morning! Needless to day, that was one crazy night! Some of us girls stayed up watching Greek on my computer afterward. Who knew that enrollment could be turned into sisterhood bonding. Must say, can’t deny that there is great joy in going Greek!

I know that enrollment in the future won’t be this exciting, but I will always remember it as the day I almost shot my computer! 🙂
