(continued from here)
I started the next day downstairs drowning in nerves. I knew everyone was nice down there but I had no clue what I was doing. I had to start all over with learning. Just when I was getting comfortable upstairs. I worked with the other temp for a week and a half. She was an older lady, but very nice and helpful. In my time with her I learned how to enter purchase orders, match up invoices with them and enter invoices as well. That was all pretty simple. I was also shown where to file everything at and open and sort mail.
I thought, if this is all I have to do, this is easy! The first week by myself was very nerve racking. I felt like the week of training I got, was all I was going to get. I really had no clue what to do. I was so nervous to ask what to do, because I wanted to know what I was doing on my own instead of the constant "What do you want me to do now?" I want to know the pattern of things and what needs to be done by what day of the months.

The Working Life - Part 6 6:52 PM
My mom had told me they were looking for a temp at her work. I was like "ooo me me me!!" I knew everyone there from meeting my mom up there all the time. I was told it was just data entry type of stuff. However, she then said they were looking for someone with a business degree. There it goes, I'm screwed. I will never have the right degree for anything even though I can do the job. Or at least learn quickly. How hard can entering data be that you need a business degree??
My name was mentioned at it was just up in the air on needing a temp at the time. I think at some point they agreed on letting me come in and work as a temp and I'd talk to the boss the following week. My mom suggested I wear my suit (to this very casual office in an apartment), while this other girl said I could wear whatever. Weird thing happened, and before that week approached, my mom called and said to come in to work ASAP because they wanted me right now. Wow, what a way to hurry out of bed! I was excited, but then very nervous.
