Last Monday, May 18, 2009, I started my first day of a "real job". I made it downtown without any trouble. I found the correct building, with a little guidance from a fabulous security guard. I even met some nice people before 8 am.
28 other people were waiting in the lobby with me. Four people stepped off the elevator and welcomed us to this new adventure of a career. They broke us up into groups of seven to give us a quick tour of the office. I being the friendly person I am was talking to the gentleman behind me. I was not paying attention to where I was going. There happened to be a pole and I ran right into it. Nice way to start the job. At least the person behind me was the only person to see it happen.

Post-Graduation
Instead of just posting pictures of my life, I plan on using this site to document events in my life. In the past month I have transitioned from being a college student to a young professional.
Two weeks ago completed a major chapter in my life. I graduated college. I actually finished all of the requirements set forth by the State of Iowa Board of Regents to receive a degree. Now I am working for a Fortune 500 company. I never thought a degree in Anthropology and a minor in Math would lead me in this direction. But I guess you can never predict the twists and turns of life.
My first week on the job has already produced many fun experiences. I started with a group of 28 young graduates who are in the same position I am. Many of us don't have degrees related to the field but were lucky enough to find a job. Last week was spent in the classroom, a basic crash course in Underwriting. Tuesday, I go back to work. Hopefully, I will be assigned a desk by then and I will have a computer so that I can practice my newly learned skills.
The girls I work with are amazing. They are hilarious. I can't wait to have more adventures with them.
