7:45 AM: It's also my first day in my new interim Cashier 4 role. Should I be more freaked out? Time will tell.
11:20: I had to walk myself through using the fax machine without Dan, who is being trained by Liz. The fax happened (finally) and the customer received his confirmation page, so apparently I do know how to fax. Can I teach other people to do it? This is the question. I finally had to re-enact the entire process and write it all down, step by step.
I'm also keeping an eyeball on the WES list, so I can add new accounts for students, and my email, which is doing a soft explode of new topics to sort through and absorb. Gratefully, I can still cashier.
11:53 AM: Someone from another department on campus emailed and asked me to "open" her accounts. I had to ask Heidi what this meant. I had already completed the task, just had no idea what this person was asking. The vocabulary everyone uses is yet one more thing I'll be learning.
12:30: Lunch. Note to me: don't buy those croissant sandwiches from Winco deli - they taste like refrigerator.
1:35: Feeling completely overwhelmed by everything, but I'll survive. I have good people around me who won't let me fail.
2:52: Found out I'll be working until 3:30 every day, this week and next week, instead of 3:00. What the hell, it's 30 more minutes, and more money. Increased my amounts and percentages! Shhh.
