         It was another busy day... and my first day on this new data entry temp. job.  We were given a boat load of information today and a manual containing almost one hundred pages of information.  I made it through okay.  The two girls training with me appear to be just out of high school --- one has a three year old daughter and the other has a two-and-a-half year old daughter.  It was nice being with them today, listening to them chat.  They are both fast on the ten-keyboard.  I actually learned on a calculator... that was many years ago, and the numbers were larger and wider spread.  This is small and compact and makes for an achy wrist.  Ouch!  I definitely want to get a brace for my right wrist by week end.

         We train all week and begin keying entries on our own mid-week.  We're tested on Friday; then next Tuesday, we begin completely on our own.  I'm excited.  It's new, it's fun, it's different.  I am sure it gets tedious when entering data all day..., but I plan to bring music and input data like a crazy lady.  =0

         We work 8:00am to 4:30pm --- a nice shift, with a half hour lunch. 

         Tonight I got busy with this transcription job and completed another audio; then I ate a little dinner --- after which I practiced using the ten-keyboard using an online lesson.  I believe I'm faster than I was yesterday.  So, every night, I will practice a bit in hopes of getting better and faster every day.

         Have a nice evening!
