It was a fun day, it went by very quickly. Basically all we're required to do is fill out the forms for the patients coming in to get the shots, occasionally helping some of the elderly with canes, wheelchairs, etc. to find a spot to sit while waiting and answering questions.
I got there at 8:30am, the doors weren't supposed to open until 9am but they forgot to lock them after the staff came in so we got around 1 minute of instructions before we got put to work. It's easy, just a lot of writing. My hand is cramped but I'm sure I'll be okay. ;)
The best part is the people. Right now it's mainly the very old and the very young. It can go one of two ways, annoyed, grumpy, just not happy with life people or extremely sweet, wonderful, make you smile people. Thankfully I got more of the second then I did the first.
Remember when I said that the age group of guys attracted to me is 18-25 and 60-death, well I proved it today. In the 8 hours I was there I got 4 candies, a chocolate and a $2 tip. The other five girls got nothing, I was beginning to feel bad, promised them the next candy I got they could fight for. ;)
My boss came out after my shift was over to congratulate me, told me she had gotten quite a few reports on how wonderful I made the experience for these people. I'm glad. :)
So that was my first day. Surprisingly I'm not tired, in fact, I could have worked another 4 hours if I didn't have to go home to the kids.
Tomorrow I'm back at it, 4 hour shift. :)
