Well I don't know if you've noticed, but I kept repeating what you said, ending with "".

Nah, it's not too hard. I'm not really learning anything interesting... xD Sometimes there are interesting articles, but they usually aren't what I need, so.. I don't really get into reading them. But I'm... starting to get quicker, getting to understand things more and more, I also encounter new words I've never heard about... But the articles that I need to find... don't really interest me. But it's good for my English, I guess, so... Oh, I'm also learning not to be nervous, to do things at a good pace... And it's always a good thing to be near people... It's also fun there, the people are nice. ^^

Oh, gawd I wrote too much.

Re: Happy New Year, everyone!!! Честита Нова Година! ^^

Guess you are picking up some useful things after all Do you get given a number a articles to find everyday or week? How does your day to day job role work?

You wrote ALOT!

Re: Happy New Year, everyone!!! Честита Нова Година! ^^

It's articles a day, there kinda is a number, but there can be related articles, which don't count... It's something like... 5-6 articles in 4 sections. There's also a related section.

My day to day job... I start around 8 am, visit a site to make searches by codes. When I find an appropriate article, I put it in the correct folder, then the article has to be formatted (headline and lead paragraph). There are specific rules I have to follow about the articles and formatting. I usually do two newsletters out of three, the person who's leading me makes one, while making others. At around 2:50 PM we stop searching and send the newsletters. They have to be sent by 3 PM (8 AM American time). And then I'm done. ^^

It's really nothing hard, I just have to pay attention not to include articles in the wrong sections or ones that aren't needed at all, also about the formatting. I stopped being nervous after 2-3 days, but today the person who helps me came to the office to work from there. And I was kinda nervous. But it went well.

Wrote a lot again.

The first few days of a new job are always a bit tense and nerving. I remember I felt so uncomfortable answering the phone in my office, as I felt every would be listening to my every word to make sure I was being "correct". Even when I started to do phone interviews, I used to wait til someone else was on the phone so I could also start calling but now I'm alot of more comfortable, plus I now I have to get the work done; so once you get that mindset you'll be fine.

Sounds like a pretty chilled out job, hopefully it keeps going this smooth for you.

Re: Happy New Year, everyone!!! Честита Нова Година! ^^

Yep, it's a nice job. ^^ Thanks!

Oh, and I'm feeling weird about things... I can't seem to get myself do normal stuff like drinking water from the water in the office, I even felt weird about going to the toilet at first. xD I couldn't, I also couldn't visit other sites and use my normal Skype (I use a work-related one there), I dunno, I feel like they're things I shouldn't be doing. xD Can't answer my phone too. I still haven't drank from the water there, still don't answer my phone, I even kept it away in my bag at first. I started using other sites just yesterday... Eating from yesterday too.

I'm weird. xD

Yup that's weird but like I said it takes time to get comfortable in a new environment. My advantage is that I knew all the office managers from before and used to stop by the office from time to time. I'm quite comfortable around them, we have a very relaxed work atmosphere, and though I never answer my phone during work hours, I do send texts when I can. During my hour break, I can do whatever I want. But even during office hours, I always have my facebook page open and sometimes MH too. Unless I REALLY need to put my head down and concentrate.

Just take it slowly to get used to it, and this'll be a good chance for you to broaden your horizons and maybe make new friends. One step at a time. We all adjust to things at different paces

Oh. OH!
Actually I just noticed. Ahahaha~
Sometimes my mind is just too full with various things until I fail to notice many things.

Re: Happy New Year, everyone!!! Честита Нова Година! ^^

Don't worry! I can be confusing, I guess.

I don't have anything to say now. ._.

[Adorien]

Re: My one vice is I'm too nice... and my weakness is that I care too much

I know!

So many people took advantage of me. ._. Classmates, people I didn't like a lot. Even my ex-best friend!

I have learned though a bit.
