Hey guys. Sorry I've been scarce. Been busy as shit between work and helping Panda take care of a friend who's having medical and home issues.
Anyway...
Today I got to experience the actual office environment. I spent the entire day shadowing different workers in different units. Mind you, I've only had like 2 days (out of 10 weeks) worth of the training, so most of what they were doing went way over my head. It was cool to see what I will be doing, and to learn the office (before today I had only been in a conference room in the bottom floor).
One of the biggest things I learned was the entire staff is chill as fuck. Also... I am going to be working in a building closed off to the public. As in... it doesn't have a publicly listed address. All mail or what not is directed straight to the agency HQ building (which is literally across the parking lot). It being closed off means 2 things. 1: I will NOT be dealing with people face to face. I believe all of my work will be with online referrals. (I am beyond stoked). and 2: the dress policy is more relaxed. I could get away with jeans and a polo if I wanted to. I probably wouldn't even attempt to until I am off probation... but it is cool to know.
I am so stoked to get back into the class room tomorrow and keep learning the systems and what not!
