yuck. i'm taking it you're not at work today then at home care LOL. kinda hard to take calls with no voice! now tell me...what was orientation like besides the classroom stuff? like...did they partner you with someone to shadow for a while or was it just kinda like 'plunk...here's your desk and caseload...here ya go'? do you think you'll try to write off things like oil changes to the car etc? and how is it going? was there any grievances on you getting the position? is it permanent? i'm always worried that even if i do get this position that some old bag will come out of the woodwork and take it from me :(]
