New Job

Ah! I heard some awesome thunder today! I was sitting out on the tramp reading cuz Bronwen tends to be where I am or sleeping... and it got all dark and grey! It was super pretty... and then it didn't storm. And two hours later, it didn't even look like there had been dark clouds. What the heck? Sad day :(

So, I had my "Post Offer Assessment" for work today. I was a little worried-okay, I always worry too much-because I didn't know exactly what I was going to have to do. I met with a physical therapist to make sure I could handle everything I would need to do on the job. Most of it was pretty easy but the hardest had to be lifting a 3 lb. weight.

Haha, no, 3 lbs isn't very much, it was lifting it with just my wrist as many times as I could in a minute that was difficult. Those were some long minutes! I think I hurt my left wrist in elementary school-but, of course, I've never been to a doctor about it and it only hurts when there's a storm or I lean on it for too long. But apparently I did as many with my left wrist as I did with my right...

We also went out to the sewing room and there were six tops lined up in pairs between machines. I had to fold each one with two folds and go down the row. They didn't have to be really neat and I had to do all six in under 30 seconds. Then I had to do it... 18 times, I think, in under 10 minutes. I was worried I wasn't going fast enough and the hardest part was unfolding them in order to fold them. He didn't tell me my time, but apparently I was fast enough :)

So, I start work on Monday. Well, I don't have to go in until 7:30 on Monday and I think the interviewer said I would be done early that day. Then I will find out if I work 6:15-2:45 or 6:30-3:00 :)
