Personal: Another day.

Well, what a day yesterday. I am in an exhausted daze. While I did miss being able to enjoy the family outing, my first day of work at Le Creuset proved to be great, and very productive. I felt like I actually *did* something, and while the first few hours proved to be very comprehensive and overwhelming: it's challenging, fun, and I think I'll pick it up pretty fast. I get along with my coworkers really well so far. (There's only five employees with the entire store, and I worked with two of them, everyone's really great.)
The training program is pretty cool, actually - very unique. Rather than watching a billion videos about unions, and legal crap, they give you a workbook and a cast iron cookbook, and you get to research about all the different sizes/styles of cast iron cookware. It's really overwhelming, a lot of information to retain - but it's interesting and enjoyable, too. Especially for me, since I like to cook. Made me want to buy stuff and start cooking. (Too bad I don't get my employee discount for another month!)
My day today was somewhat less chaotic, at the moment I'm trying desperately not to fall off the kitchen stool while waiting for a cake to come out of the oven. Ah, there it is. More later.
