Job's going well

Well, I just completed my first solo work day. It went well, I guess. I didn't burn the place down, so that's a plus! I was actually pretty worried during my on the job training that I wouldn't be able to do this job on my own, but it really is pretty damned easy. It's a lot more work than most people seem to realize, though. Everyone thinks because I have a management position at a government agency that I just sit on my butt all day and goof off, but I don't. Well, I do spend some time goofing off, but I do have to actually work, too. I actually have a lot to do during the day, mostly administrative and customer service type work. But I also have to make sure the place is kept neat and clean. I'll also be responsible for lawn maintenance when summer comes. I'm not yet officially the postmaster, I'm only a postmaster relief, but I will be postmaster officially soon. That doesn't change much, really. I'll get a small salary bump and be eligible for health benefits.
