My new Job

...is really great! It's a hard job, but I'm learning a lot and having a good time. On a typical day I wake up at 6 and leave the house at 7:30. I drive a hellish commute to Wilmington and arrive at work at 8:30. I go in through security check and say hello to Henry. He always has a nice joke for me or friendly words of advice. Next I walk through the museum to the education wing and walk into my office/ big cubical. I say hello to Jim and/ or Cynthis. Next I groan at the ammount of messages that came in overnight. Next I out my lunch in the friedge and sit down at my computer.. by the way.. they gave me my own laptop and a palm pilot! (did I mention I love this place?) Next I anwer a lot of emails about the studio programs, I register people in an excel roster for classes, and I update the online store and capture people's purchases. At this point usually the rest of people are getting to work and we chat a bit. Some times I also have meetings around this time. We discusss upcoming museum events, budgets, and "issues." The rest of my day basically consists of the same thing as above with some other administrative jobs in between and now and then the occasional call from an elderly person who loves to chat. Sometime my job consists of things that aren't so fun- like saying "no" to people and writing letters. OH !!!! I forgot- I wrote my first grant proposal and I got it!!! YAY!
