Just back from four hours of information overload. I really love the system they have. Every reservation is on both paper and in the computer, and is checked by at least three pairs of eyes (in a four-person office) for critical details. It's pretty clear that the main hurdle is going to be getting into the rhythm and establishing a pattern for getting the info for each reservation down. Go in tomorrow for another 4 hours, 1500 to 1900, then Friday I sit in on a morning shift so we can meet and learn from the two regular dispatchers.

The funny thing is my fellow new hire is another SuperShuttle veteran, from the time right around when Kiri got laid off. We have several friends in common.

But I mentioned office dogs. This is one of the two office dogs at my new gig. Stanley thought that training meant showing the newcomers where he liked being petted the most.

One really nice thing is one of the easiest routes to and from work takes me right past a Safeway and the library. Easy to run errands that way, especially the quick one-item stops.

Yeah for New Job. That sounds perfect for your current health. And yet, it is something that you have a ton of working knowledge of. So Yeah!
And the office dog is indeed adorable. May he help with any job stress that is bound to happen.
