I've worked before (during Finals week to boot, so that was just a basket full of fun!), so it's not like it was super awkward or weird because I didn't know what I was doing. Don't you hate that? When you start a new job and have no idea what to do, or who to talk to or where to even stand? You just find an open patch of ground to plant yourself and look lost in until someone comes and guides you like a lost puppy over to some form of something that the "new kid" can do that won't hurt their nube-y brains. It's rough. Let me tell you.
I work at the Testing Center, and I actually love it. It's a lot of fun! But maybe that's just me... I really like meeting and talking to people, and literally everyone on campus has to come through there so it's perfect! I also really like clerical stuff, so the filing and organizing stuff is right up my alley. It is quite honestly the perfect match! I've found my soul-mate job. My soul-job? Soul... job... Foot-game, foot... game...
Anyway! I met the people that I'll be working with for the rest of the semester today and they are all really awesome! So I'm excited for that (but I get excited for most things, so not really any surprises there haha)! This one kid, his name is Ethan, is super friendly and nice but we have become eternal foes as we have engaged in the Battle of the Testers.
See, at the beginning of the year, work moves at a glacial pace. No one comes in! Because what kind of sadistic teacher gives tests this early in the year (math ones, let me just tell you straight up). So when one person comes every 10 minutes, we all want to be the person to help them so that we have something to do. So Ethan and I decided to keep score one who helped more people, tallying up who most people went to. I'm rather competitive when I feel like it, and today? I was feeling it. So I was stealing his "customers" right and left. He tried to bribe some guy to go to his computer by offering him a hug. I told the guy he could either get a hug from Ethan or a hug from me. Needless to say, he came to my computer. And yes, I hugged him. Was that unfair? Probably. Was it necessary? Completely. Ethan can't win. It's is written in the stars and in the cards that I will be the Battle of the Testers champion. I'm like the Hercules of the Testing Center. Bring it, Ethan. I can go the distance. And when I can't, I'll just have Pegasus sock you in the face so I can get ahead. Don't push me, I will do it.
Now that I'm done sending threatening thoughts out to Ethan through the universe, I think I'll wrap this up. Basically, my job is awesome, the people I work with are awesome, I'm awesome (at getting people to choose me over Ethan. HA!), and life is awesome. Awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Just one more for kicks and giggles (see what I did there?) --> awesome.
