The greatness that is my new job!

For the last 4 days, i have been employed in the publishing field as a Publications Assistant. It is an area that i have ALWAYS wanted to be in, but couldn't because of the lack of opportunity where i used to live. It is something that i have studied towards for years ( and still do), but i never thought that i would actually get there. In saying that, i also never thought i would move to Brisbane.

Thinking and doing are two VERY differnt things. I am still coming to the realisation that i am doing a job that i WANT to do, instead of a job to bide my time. And to make things even better, this company is GREAT to work for (especially since i came from a small accouting firm in a country town..!)

Perks:

1. 2 proper coffee machines
2. I can wear whatever i like!
3. Tuesdays at 4:30 a trainer comes and does pilates and boxing for whoever wants to do it (and you dont even need to make up the time!)
4. Flexible working hours
5. Much better pay!
6. They do not take the 10 day Christmas closure of the 4 weeks annual leave
7. People come to the office to take lunch orders and then deliver them
8. I get a swipe card!!
10. I have a title that does not involve the word 'receptionist)
11. I now get to claim some of my Uni costs because it's work related


Yay for me!
