Newbies

So today at work is my one week anniversary (how fast the time goes, it seems like only last week…). Anyway, so today, on the day of my anniversary a new chick started. (I use the term “Chick” for a female roughly my age, not a “girl” but I can’t justify the label “woman”). I thought I’d be nice and say that its not as hard as it sounds initially, that everything will eventually make sense and not to worry, and so I did.

However, she is currently being trained in the cubicle next door, and she apparently has TONS of experience in publishing, like she interned for several summers doing almost exactly this work. True, she isn’t quite familiar with the way things are done here, but she still has a base of knowledge. So I’m sitting here resenting her. Maybe I just need more caffine.
