A Face to Call Home

“Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life” echoed through the hallway by my new boss on my first day of work. I have now officially completed two days of work, and by work I mean work. No training program- just right to business. 

My office. It needs some decorating action immediately.But I kind of love it.

Overwhelmed by more information than my little brain can hold, and trying to keep up while learning the world of logistics has left me exhausted (And its only Tuesday eek) But I am extremely excited to see what the possibilities and opportunities I will have in this company. My boss says to ask as many questions as possible because he knows I am completely unfamiliar with logistics, but I can tell at times I am testing the phrase, “There are not such things as stupid questions”.

 I have already learned that a truck is not “refrigerated” it is temperature controlled.
 A “tote” in the warehouse looks nothing like any tote bag I have ever owned. 

Everything has a three-letter acronym. 
RFP. LTL. 3PL. TTA. TCA. B2C. 

A tractor is not a John Deere. 
The list goes on and on.

I have a LOT to learn but I could not be more thrilled to be working in such a friendly and encouraging atmosphere. Ask me again in a few weeks and the answer may be less enthusiastic when the excitement wears off and the 5:30am wake up call starts to wear on me. BUT for now I am feeling more confident and assured that this was indeed the right place for me.
