First Day of Work

So today was my first day at my new job, well if you can really count it. I spent the entire day in orientation. Me and 2 other new employees sat through an 8 hour long information session. The information ranged from basic company background information to benefits explaination and everything in between. It was a complete information overload. I think there were about 7 different people who came and told us stuff and showed us around the building. My favorite part is that almost everyone of them said something to the effect of “Now I know your not going to remember all this because we are giving you so much information today…” I just think that is great. They know they are giving you way to much info to take it all in but they do it anyway. Why not just give us some information today and the rest tomorrow? I mean we could do like a half a day of orientation and a half day of “learning your job function” and then remember so much more of it. Oh well. Wednesday I actually go in and start my actuall job though not my actuall shift. Its all good, I am looking forward to it. I hope it all goes well.
