Bored!

I can't believe how much down time I have in this new job! I am starting to worry that I am not doing something that I really should be doing. I keep going over the training folder I was given, and everything in there is done. I just don't understand how when I asked my predecessor if she ever had down time, she insisted she never did. Am I that much faster, or am I seriously missing something?

I feel like I need to be doing something, but I can't find things to do. I have already updated all of my spreadsheets for the new year, even ones I haven't used yet. I have gone through every file that I inherited, seeing if there was something I was missing and also learning what I could. I have asked my co-worker in my office if I can help her and have done things for her.

I guess my boss would tell me if there was a problem, but I always worry about things like this. It is so different not having anything to do, and no one to talk to either. At least at the Brigham, if I had down time, there was always some one to talk to. I really miss that. I get a long well with my new office mates, but there isn't that feel of family we had at the Brigham.

Oh well. At least my job is secure for the moment and I have an income. I should just be grateful.
