I had my first day at my new job yesterday.
I was working for an opticians but I quit in February (due to wanting to work part-time and also some problems with certain members of staff) and have just started at my mums clinic as the receptionist. It's pretty much exactly what I expected it to be, all stuff I had to do at my old job but minus a bunch of stuff I used to do.
Since my mum has worked there for the past twelve years or something I already know a lot of the staff - or it might be more accurate to say they know me. The amount of people I've had say 'wow you're so big now' and I wasn't aware we'd ever even met is too many. Especially since I suck at remembering names.
The actual work seems like it will be pretty easy and the hard parts are just learning those little things like who the regular customers are and how long different practitioners appointments should be. Honestly, I'm worried it might be a little boring after the fast paced nature of my last job (plus the fact there's only one receptionist so no one to really talk to).
Working part time also means I've just generally got way more time to fill now. Hoping I don't fall into a pattern of doing nothing during the week but so far I've been pretty good about getting out and doing stuff.
Also I bought this amazing sausage roll from the guy who sells baked goods outside the clinic. Yum.
