I started work today...
Monday September 15th:
Today was my first day of work. The main part of town is pretty much familiar to me now, and the office is a concrete building at the beginning of the main strip. Work started at around 8, and we had a company wide meeting. I was the main topic, and was introduced very well by Charlie to the rest of the staff. Brigitte the credit officer, Thomas the head of operations, Viviane the teller, Irene the cashier and Bertrand the collections officer. I can almost remember all their names.. but that has never been my strong suit. I am bound to offend someone in the near future by not remembering their name. After a brief staff meeting of about 45 minutes, the day began. I set up my computer in the ‘office’ area, and began cleaning out my computer, and preparing it for the job ahead. Lunch break is from ~12-2, and we finish work at 5ish. From here on in, all numbers relating to hours should be taken with a large grain of salt. I started to take some preliminary notes on what all I thought I could do, and I spent some time reading the documents that GECEC has (which number roughly 4) about its activities and what they want from me.
