Finally, looks like I start my new job on Monday – really looking forward to it
Had my handover today as my final day in my old workplace – new person seems to have picked it up alright – most of the handover consisted of me rambling about my 3 years of working for the NHS and what the job entails and then left them to it. But even to the last minute I had bits of information to offer. I could’ve spent 3 days doing that handover and still not passed on even half of the info I wanted to.
On my way home had a voicemail left saying my future boss had forced the occupational health clearance through today and even with just the one reference received so far I could start beginning of next week.
So Chase Farm it is for me – can’t wait! It’ll be working in the Informations department as a trainee Informations Officer with the prospect of being a proper member of the Information team. I’m gonna be doing MSSQL, Oracle and Access with the potential to be using Business Objects. It’s the M$ version of things but it’s better than working in Admin which I’ve been doing the last few years.
So, with the long weekend to go it’s back to full time work again – gonna be a bit of a shock. I think in the back of my mind I half wanted it to take a couple more days so I could have a few days off, but at the same time I am very glad that I don’t have any time where I’m not getting paid.
I’m glad you’re finally starting this new job you had your eyes set on for some time now. At first, a full time is a bit gruelling and a bit backbreaking but you’ll get the hang of it soon enough. And besides, if you like it as much as you think you will, time and the new schedule will slide right by without you noticing it too much.
Bravo, stony!!! 😀
It’s been a fairly stressful couple of weeks waiting for it to get sorted this out. But my new team are a no nonsense group and they did everything they could to get me started as soon as possible chasing the recruitment people every day.
Occupational health went through yesterday – and i think judging from the voicemail that I think he went down to the office and took it to the occupational health office himself and told them to get it through now cos this person needs to start on Monday!
Am looking forward to going back to full time and the extra money will be well worth it. Plus with work i’m going to enjoy as opposed to typing letters and filing, which I’ve been doing for the past couple of months, it shouldn’t be too hard to get back into the swing of things.
Think I need to do a bit of brushing up on my SQL for monday so that I’m at least a little bit prepared
