Similar to a new beginning. Just in the middle of everything else.

So here it is. My first co-op. My thoughts? sjskjgysnghjksdfhdf. My reactions? djghsfjghuashjhdfjdf. Its definitely been a whirlwind the last couple of days. I had just gotten back from spring break (which is always too short), unpacked, and then headed for the 7:03 train to come out to Fort Washington. I went through the 'fun' orientation. Okay, it wasn't fun. But they did spare us from providing useless information, and hit us up with all the good things we ever needed to know. Then it was a tour of the space (cafeteria, store, FITNESS CENTER, executive offices.. you know the good stuff).

Finally I arrived at my desk, pleasantly surprised to find a computer, docking station, and HUGE screen for my poor old eyes to work off of. To say they least, they hooked me up. No wonder they are known for taking care of their employees (and I'm only a co-op!). I've made myself feel at home (including pictures of the Greek Isles- somewhere I WILL go to..) my flowers in a vase, a cute notepad my little sister gave me (it says 'behind every successful woman is herself'. It doesn't get better than that!). I brought in my post it notes (the cute ones), a cup for water so I can drink plenty during the day, and other stuff I most likely will never need. It's awesome.

So here's my embarassing moment of the day. I was forewarned that I was going to be meeting Eric, and here is what I learned about him (prior): He loves talking about hair, even though he is bald, and wants to take one of the other employees to get her haircut. When I met him, we had the hair discussion along with one of my other colleagues, then moved onto shoes, dancing with the stars, and king of prussia mall. Being my outgoing self, I was witty (of course), made a couple of jokes, puns etc... and giving him his run for his money. Here is what I learned about him after. He is the VP of Marketing for US McNeil Consumer Products. Really Abby? Well done. You should quit now.
