New things

I started my new assignment for OfficeTeam yesterday.  I'm working in the shipping office of a factory doing data entry.  At least, that's the way it was explained to me when I was offered the assignment.  The hours are supposed to be Monday thru Friday 1pm-6pm.  Perfect, I thought!  I can get up early like normal, do my schoolwork, go work out, come home and do Mariah's schooling then go to work.  I'll get home early enough to go over whatever Mariah did while I was gone, tuck her into bed, finish up my own homework and then do some stitching!  Then I got to work yesterday.

The big boss is who I report to.  We sat in his office while he completely overwhelmed me explained to me what he wanted me to do.  It seems that I'm going to be entering every single form, piece of paper, etc, that the entire factory uses.  I will be designing spread sheets, going to safety meetings and designing a safety plan for the factory.  He anticipates the hours increasing to full time plus and permanent.  I was pretty much hyperventilating by the time we got to my office.  Yes, I'm a temp with my own office.  Today I get a phone, scanner and he told me to just let him or HR know what other supplies I need and he will make sure I get them.  I almost asked for an espresso machine!  :)  Last night went pretty well, we'll have to see how it continues.  Full time plus would not work for me, especially since we're hoping to move out of state by this time next year.  We'll see!

On a stitchy note, I started Mariah's coffee cup the other night.  This is the design she picked:

This is my progress after two days.  I HATE borders!

It's going to be really cute though!

My friend Sarah over at CraftyMoo is having a holiday giveaway.  She loves cows so I guess I'll have to hide Mariah's coffee cup!  Swing on over and take a look at her website, she's got some beautiful stitching!
