Oh the joy of learning and getting trained on the new job. I just started work this week with my first job out of grad school. Beyond Technology Education is a company that teaches technology to students, teachers, and helps integrates technology in private and public schools. I will be teaching technology/computers to K-8th graders starting next week, yikes! I'm super excited as I will be working with my passion, technology, and with children.
The room we trained in today was freezing, it reminded me of Utah winters, which I will not experience this winter and mos def not miss. I guess the cold really got to me, I kept asking the most airhead questions and making ridiculous comments like: 'Why am I being asked to change the color of the "slide"?' Then the trainer points to a picture of the kind of slide you see in a playground; what a hilarious misunderstanding!
I'm stoked about my boss and the people I'm working with; they're all really good people. They are spoiling us already; expensive restaurants and nice hotels on the beach (even when some of us live only half hour away). I know I'm going to love my job, if not, I already know I'm going to enjoy all the perks! I just got back from my boss' house, he and his wife hosted a welcome-to-the-company dinner; amazing house in Southern Orange County. Right before I left he reminded me of how it was 'meant to be' that I work for the company. I'll have to write another post for that story, though.
Huntington is great, I have no complaints anymore. I had some rough patches but they seem to be smoothed over. I'll be working in Pasadena so I'll be moving out there this weekend and coming home on the weekends since I want to continue to go to church in Huntington. Besides that, not much else to report, hope you're all doing great!
