Today was my first day on the job for Hanover Research -- and, for the foreseeable future, my last day on site. I think I like this new laptop they gave me. It uses a familiar Windows OS and even had Chrome preinstalled. Unfortunately, since the only other laptop I had for an appreciable period was a Macbook, I've had to relearn how to use the touchpad. I'm still making mistakes.
It also turns out that I'll be using primarily Excel for transcription. Given the interview format, it does make sense and may even be faster for me. I just need to review some of the fine points of the application.
Well, I'm game. My first workday didn't bore me or tire me out. I think the toughest part next will be the punctuality needed for working 8 to noon at home and then 1 to 5 at an office. Once I get in the swing of things, I'm sure I'll be fine.
