I was out sick the first two days of
the week because I had to endure another skin breakdown on my butt.
I don't know what happened on Saturday and Sunday I don't know fuzz
up to long are sitting Touche to crazy I don't know. What I do know
is that my skin begin to break down extremely quick. So the days of
been fairly quiet at the office and I decided to take the first two
days of the week off to see if I can clear up the skin issue is much
as possible. Thursday before I left the office I noticed there was
an e-mail from my new boss Amy – – that sounds so strange to
refer to her as the new boss. This is especially true since
technically she will not be my new boss since as I understand things
I'm going to be there only on loan as we work out the time issue of
me becoming 62 and legal for retirement within the state system. But
the e-mail said here is the name of somebody contact our office would
like you to come over and check the surroundings make sure it's
accessible for you and so we can make any changes that might need to
be made to your workstation. There was communication with the new
office. Somehow all this which is been happening to me recently has
been sort of surreal my like I know them leaving but just hasn't
really sunk in until the e-mail. Well I was sick the first two days
but I figured I better get my butt in gear and make arrangements for
the role through of my new workstation. I do not want these people
to think that I did not appreciate them bringing me in to their hive,
even if my boss here is going to continue to pay my salary in eyes
bring my own equipment.
The first two days of the week were
absolutely beautiful clear skies, temperatures in the 80s I really
wished I had been at work even if just to take off lunch cruise
around the concrete and enjoy the warm days of an early summer. Well
I called Patty when I got back made arrangements to stop by that
office yesterday at three o'clock and afternoon. Now our offices
been light all week the boss and the secretary had taken off for
hinter parts of the state to provide sooner support in those areas.
They should be gone all week. And the boss and staff have been
concerned about my fragility sort of leaving the office early to get
home to get the weight off my butt. So anyway I took off yesterday
about 2:30 PM
caught the bus which struck me off
almost directly in front of the building.
The building is a relatively new
building lots of glass lots of flat surfaces so I was a bit surprised
when I saw there was a porch lift the front of the building to raise
me up a host of stairs to get to the entrance. I was even more
surprised to find this lift didn't work. Had dutifully written down
Patty's cell phone number from her e-mail and I tried to call but
couldn't but each time I called got the wrong number I still can't
believe that. I did get a holder finally she came out got me and
took me around to the back which is the best country to the building.
On the front of the building are signs of companies in the building
that seemed to be a great deal but inside the building that it feels
almost vacant, quiet. There seems to be many locked doors. In the
office space I was greeted by Amy another staff who all seemed
genuinely happy to see me, eggs and excited to have me as part of
their working group. I picked my own workstation which is a cubicle
course of the fairly large cubicle. There are many workstations but
there seem to be only a few operators which again shocked me from
what I remember 211 had many operators. Now seem to be only one
Spanish-speaking operator and the rest of us. The whole area still
smells new – – and he tells me they've only been in that space
two months. Things are still being done physically to the area. I
essentially told what I needed to make my workspace accessible to
talk a little bit of the questions that need to be asked before I
really go to work there. Those questions well be handled between my
current boss Claire and any who will duke out the fine print. But I
feels good to be a good match and somewhat cozy similar to the work
environment I'm in now. I'm a bit excited but a bit spooked I could
tell these folks seemed to be hoping that I will be a benefit to
their project. He seemed dismayed when I told them I cannot bring
over a database as somehow the database I have here corrupted and
disappeared years ago. But they bounced back from that news
indicating it will develop one together regarding disability
questions. What's weird only anxiety I had over this whole work
thing work change was watching television last night at home and
begin to wonder if I'm up to this new project. I think I am. I
think I'm excited assist now see if I can do it. It looks like at
this point I'll be transitioning to that building sometime in July.
There was talk about doing the transition as early as June 11 but
that doesn't seemed to be going to happen. I was kind of shocked
that I felt a little bit let down that I would have to wait so long
to make the transition. This is a good thing?
