First Day of the New Job

June 30th 2004

Just finished my first day at my new job. I’m loving it so far. The people there are great. Whereas at my previous employment, when you walked in the door you could just feel the negative energy/angst/gossip floating around, when I go to work now, everyone is very laid back and casual. Of course at the Vet things got so busy and hectic, it was understandable that a lot of people would tend to stress themselves out. Now for the pros and cons:

Pros of my new job:

  • More pay
  • Better Hours, day hours where I don’t have to get up too early, and I’m home in time for dinner and sunlight. Plus I get off most weekends and EVERY Sunday.
  • Less stressful. Less phone calls, less ‘busy’ atmosphere
  • MY OWN OFFICE. Yes, I will have my own office, my own desk which I can decorate/organize how I see fit, my own computer WITH internet access. Though I will be careful not to abuse this segment
  • I really do love the people. One of the guys bought me lunch today, they offer me to go out on smoke breaks with them, even though I don’t smoke. We just stand outside and chat. And they are allowed many smoke breaks.
  • Hour lunch break! Compared to the Vet where we weren’t really allowed to eat OR have breaks
  • No more scrubs. I can wear normal work attire. They will assign 1 or 2 sets of uniforms just to have, but for the most part just regular work attire
  • Off every holiday
  • NO TRAFFIC. Where I work, I go the opposite way that everyone is going in the AM and the PM. Plus I take a lot of back roads
  • Cons of my new job:

  • I’ll have to take out my eyebrow piercing every day
  • When I worked at the vet, I already had a background with animals. This is an entirely new field for me so I have much learning to do
  • Going to have to take some training courses
  • Still dealing with customers, but no where near the severity as the Vet
  • Overall I am so ecstatic that I have this job it’s not even funny. I plan to study as much as possible the material I was sent home with. I will kickass.

    CSS Pop-ups

    I’m looking for an example of someone who has used CSS to create a pop-up page. Everything I google just shows how to make pop-ups on the same page, but I’m talking old school pop-ups where it opens an entirely new page. Has anyone seen anything like this before using CSS?
