My job at work is morphing. The priority now we're told is working the new task -- resolving issues on benefit requests -- and answering phones secondary. The new bunch in the Helena phone center are the primaries -- they've been up and running for about three weeks. I like doing the new stuff. It's problem solving, fact finding to get to a solution or near it.
We also had the ergonomic expert in today and all this week. I hijacked her attention after she helped a girl near me. It was helpful, I believe. My chair is better adjusted, my monitors were raised, my keyboard tray adjusted although that will soon be replaced by a better one so I can have the ergonomic keyboard, and I'll be getting a footrest. Woo hoo! Our supervisors are really pretty good about making our work environments ... workable ... but in a positive way. This is one of the nicest, friendliest places I've ever worked. Amazing.
I haven't made much progress in the book I'm reading but I took it to work with me and it's getting a lot of attention -- mostly its big size I think at first. Maybe I can read more tonight before heading to sleep.
So much Interneting to do and so little time ... but thanks for tuning in ...
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster

It makes such a huge difference to have your workstation fit. How neat that you were able to have everything adjusted for you!
You ain't kidding. Right afterward, I could tell right away with my chair -- she moved the seat outward a little somehow and tilted it up a bit. Even raising the monitors was something I don't think I would have even thought of let alone done myself. My keyboard tray and keyboard will change sometime soon -- the boxes are closer to my cubicle so it must mean something. :) I've had an ergonomic keyboard before and loved it. Isn't it amazing when your job cares about things like this. As this ergo-lady says, "she's there all week (don't forget to tip your servers" going to everybody (like 40 employees).
