A modest journal. |
Monday, May 23, 2011, 8:29pm It was another busy day... and my first day on this new data entry temp. job. We were given a boat load of information today and a manual containing almost one hundred pages of information. I made it through okay. The two girls training with me appear to be just out of high school --- one has a three year old daughter and the other has a two-and-a-half year old daughter. It was nice being with them today, listening to them chat. They are both fast on the ten-keyboard. I actually learned on a calculator... that was many years ago, and the numbers were larger and wider spread. This is small and compact and makes for an achy wrist. Ouch! I definitely want to get a brace for my right wrist by week end. We train all week and begin keying entries on our own mid-week. We're tested on Friday; then next Tuesday, we begin completely on our own. I'm excited. It's new, it's fun, it's different. I am sure it gets tedious when entering data all day..., but I plan to bring music and input data like a crazy lady. =0 We work 8:00am to 4:30pm --- a nice shift, with a half hour lunch. Tonight I got busy with this transcription job and completed another audio; then I ate a little dinner --- after which I practiced using the ten-keyboard using an online lesson. I believe I'm faster than I was yesterday. So, every night, I will practice a bit in hopes of getting better and faster every day. Have a nice evening! |
