The not so frozen North.

March 21, 2006

Well the first day is over… finally.  As first days go it was good but there are a lot of things that need to be ironed out.  My number one complaint already is that the Office Manager.  This really isn’t surprising as I knew her from school long before I got here.  In school we’d clashed like nobody’s business and I fear the same thing is going to happen here.  Overall the problem is that she doesn’t know where her power ends and doesn’t seem to realize that I am not her subordinate.  Today I just let it slide because I have information about how things are going to go down tomorrow that she doesn’t.  My job description has changed completely already and I’ll be starting training for it tomorrow.

New job difficulties aside the camp is an excellent place to be.  Everyday my room is cleaned for me and the bed is made.  My room is equipped with a 19” Television/DVD player with 60 satellite channels and the bed is nicer than any I’ve slept in for at least the past 6 months. Fabulous dinners and breakfasts are just waiting for me to show up and when I’m done the plates and leftovers are magically whisked away.  I was even told that our Head Chef cooked for Lady Di for two years!  Now my biggest concern is… not getting fat!

I’m going to bed because this first day has absolutely exhausted me and I need to be fresh for tomorrow as I know it’s going to take everything I’ve got to go keep pretending OB actually knows what she’s talking about and go along with what she’s ‘teaching me’.

Glad to hear it's going okay... hope you don't have to work with the office manager much. She wasn't the one who got you the job in the first place, I trust?
