After a long period of unemployment I landed a job. I went to an half day orientation last Saturday and Monday would have been my first full day. I get the full blown FLU. I have the chills, sinus pain, head aches, running nose, all of it. Talk about bad timing. I've been in touch with the boss and keeping him up to date.
This is day 3 of my sick leave. I'm not 100%. I'm still coughing, wiping my nose, and spitting pheglm. I can't fully concentrate. If this was my old job I probably would return tomorrow. My new job requires me work very closely with others. I'm still a germ factory. The longer I delay, the employer will not take me seriously. It takes me at least 10 days to fully recover. I don't want to be coughing and wiping my nose in front of coworkers and clients. The reason I got this job is a bit of a story as well. My first week is a trial period. I'm not a perfect fit for this job. I'm a Order Desk Agent for a signmaking supplier. I process transactions, invoice orders, accounts receivable, deal with clients, etc…….If I can get through the routine and boring tasks then the job is mine. The problem is he hired my for my WEAKEST skills. My background is in the graphic arts, so I am famiiiar with the materials he sells. I have no foundation in book keeping or admin. He could have easily hired someone with gereral admin, book keeping or accounting. Those people he told me are very rigid and inflexable. They'll only do accounting and nothing else. They won't learn the business or the materials used. He wants someone who can work the office and the warehouse. How hard could it be? Saturday was tough. It's trial by fire using my weakest weapon. |
