Week 7

Week 7 feels strange. Maybe it’s just today, but I feel that I’ve been here a while, but when I really think about it, seven is a small number. Only today I got my first full paycheck.

And yet, I live in a state and work for a state institution where money problems are a concern, so I worry that I may only see ten more of them. It’s scary becaus I want assurances I can’t get. All I can do is work. And that means building a clientele aand docmenting the work that I have done. This week I have a meeting with my supervisor, so tomorrow I will review my calendar and start a list for myself that shows I’ve been working. Because this job feels so strange compared to my last, a lot of the time I don’t feel that I am really working.

And I was reading David Seah, and he hit upon an idea to try since my work is so unstructured: pick a weekly work theme. I don’t have deadlines right now, so I have the freedom to set some targets.

Loosely, this week was getting the paperwork done, making flyers, introduction letters, and faculty profile templates. next week needs to figured out and perhaps the meeting will shed some light on what is a priority.
