Hello
It was ok! First, the person I was meant to report to, wasn't in today, so I was waiting in reception for 45 minutes before my agency contact phoned me to ask why I hadn't turned up. So the receptionist was phoning through to someone who wasn't there, someone else in the department had phoned the agency to say I hadn't turned up, and it was all highly confusing...
Anyhow, that mix up sorted, I had a whistlestop tour of my department, then a Health & Safety induction & tour of the WHOLE campus, and a 2 hr meeting with the rest of the HR department which was a bit overwhelming considering I've not officially worked in HR before!
Then it was lunchtime, and the canteen is immense. It was really posh looking, proper hot food and stuff, but I don't want to get in a habit of buying my dinner so I'm gonna stick with my leftovers and stuff.
Had a slight touch on some of the work I'll be doing, won't bore people with the details (unlike the 1500+ word email I just sent Biker...) and it seems ok. It's day one, they'll be easing me in gently..
I finish at 5 now, which is odd. After 2 years of "officially" finishing at 4, but working til 6, this could be the 9-5 that I need to get my head straight.!
I was meant to stay at Bikers last night, since he lives 20 minutes closer to new-work, but he is completely ill, like, tucked up in bed with DVDs ill.. Well, on the sofa.
So on the way home, I stopped by his, ran in, dived on him for a hug, gave him a kiss on the forehead and then left. I don't think he was expecting that, in fact I think I scared the poop out of him, haha.

Blimey, it's half 8 already....
