Three firsts...kind of

Yesterday I went to church here for the 1st time. I went with Mel & Elizabeth and was very happy when they started playing songs that I knew and have been singing at FHPC for years. It just so happens that my 1st time at this church is the day their Pastor announces that he has accepted a call elsewhere. Time for changes for everyone it seems. It will take a bit getting used to a new church, especially after attending the same church for so many years, but I think I'm going to like it. However, I will still be listening to the FHPC sermons online...too bad we don't include the worship on the recordings LOL

After church I experienced my 1st real taste of "Southern Food". Mel's family was laughing at me because I needed a tour guide of the buffet line to know what I was looking at and to know what I wanted to eat, or to avoid. I have fallen in love with fried green tomatoes...they are tasty!!! And I avoided the collard greens LOL Overall, I truly enjoyed the meal.

Then today was my "1st" day of work. But not really it ended up. I was at Human Resources for my meeting at 9am, and was walking across the street to spend the rest of the day "killing time" at Sea World by 9:20am. I signed 3 papers. I 'ordered' my uniform. I got my training schedule. That's it. I now have until Friday before I go in for training, and then again on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday will be what used to be "Cornerstones", I forget what we are calling it now LOL and a tour of Discovery Cove. Then I will have department training for Merchandise, followed by photo training (that could be interesting to see what they say), and then the last day of training is "cash handling" or register training. Yeah, I may need copious amounts of coffee or super cold water to keep me awake! On Thursday (next week) I should be getting my actual schedule. I'm looking forward to the park tour and to actually start working, especially since that will me I will start getting paid!

Tomorrow I go get my car. I know I can get to and from work okay, it's just if I can get from the car lot to the house that I'm worried about LOL There are multiple ways to get EVERYWHERE in this small town and I've been turned around every which way. It will definitely be an adventure :0)
