Today, is another day.

My first real day of being on the phones; they really threw me to the wolves, as it were. My duties rapidly outstripped my ability to do them, at first, but I managed to get to a point where, despite the fact that I was not making headway, I was not falling further behind.

I imagine that within a week or two, I should be able to stay ahead of them. Wow. What a rush of work. I'm finding that I actually enjoy this job more, just because of the relaxed environment, even when it's stressful. And what job can't be stressful, ocasionally? It's reasonable, at least. The call volume is higher than I had thought it would be (though, today, two of the people (of four) who answers calls were out), but not unmanagable.

Once everyone's on the same page, and we get the fifth person added to our cadre of phone-answerers, we should be ready to rock. I'm excited, and have happy premonitons about the future, which is rare for me given how easily I become depressed. Usually.

But things are looking up, and I'm happy; tomorrow morning, and from now on, I will be working from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, which suits me just fine. I imagine much of the morning will be quite busy, as 6:00 AM here is 9:00 AM on the east coast, but I'm not too worried. I think it'll all work out.

Oh, there was also an altercation, if you're curious.

But that's pretty much the end of that, and I'm glad for it.

On to ... sleep, I suppose. I'm planning a major overhaul of the actual site on Saturday, so I can replace all of the missing content that was lost in the HD crash.
