The desk job
Black and white.  That is how I would describe this job.  Without color.  And I love color.  Granted, I'm not even out of training yet, but I'm pretty sure that I can safely say that this job is not a colorful job.  .  .not that I really expected it to be, but I am an extremely optimistic person so I didn't want to form any preconceived ideas about how unsuitable this job was for me.  I was just happy to find something to do full-time and get paid quite well for it at that.  Plus, there are a lot of positive things about this job, like the pay, the great health insurance, the "normal" hours, the huge potential for advancement, and, of course, the fact that I already have a couple of friends that currently work there.  But, it's still a black and white job.  I've done some colorful jobs before, though, so I thought perhaps I would surprise myself and enjoy the structure and predictability of a black and white job.  And I may very well like it; it's only my fourth day and my frusteration at this point is only with the . . . well, with the lack of structure and predictability in the training program (if you can call it a program).  Two things that excite me - 1. There is a window in my "office space" (which I share with three other people) so I won't feel too enclosed (but I will very much wish I was outside on colorful, sunny days)  2.  My space will allow me to decorate and express myself with whatever colorful things I choose.   So, you see, this job will be great.  I can't wait to go tomorrow.  I'm going to bed right now.
