Ch-ch-changes

Whew! That's all I can say at this point, really. After moving bases to another state, I am mentally and physically exhausted. The move to Colorado went well, except for a few minor hiccups. Mainly, I had trouble getting my wireless network set up, but after a few frustrating nights, I managed. Which is to say, my boyfriend did most of the work setting up the router, and I did the paltry job of securing the network. And my dad said it would be easy. Well, setting up the network was easy, but figuring out how to set up the router and still connect to the Internet was a lot more complicated. Thank goodness for the Linksys website; it helped a lot.

I also started my first day at my new job today. The first half of the day was spent at the city's municipal center in orientation, where someone talked a lot about insurance and retirement funds, and lots of other adult things that really won't apply to me anyway since I'm in a part-time, most likely temporary position. After lunch I went to the library for a few hours. I'm a library assistant, and while I thought I would be doing a lot of different things like reference and children's, it looks like my job will mostly be circulation, as it was before. The main difference in this library and my former one are that this library is much more centralized. There is only one desk, from which circulation, information, and reference transactions take place, whereas before we had three separate and very distinct desks for all three services. There are also some slight procedural differences, but for the most part I think I'll get along fine. It looks like this library will be somewhat less busy than my former, because this one is much smaller. It seems odd to have only one stack devoted to large print books, or only one shelf filled with Spanish materials. But I think I'll appreciate a quieter atmosphere.

I'm glad I only work 2-3 days a week, it'll give me more time to study for Comps, which are...yikes! Only a month from Wednesday! ::groans::
