Yup, its true.  I started my second job yesterday.  I got a tour of the building and a brief introduction to the programs that the building houses.  Since I’ll be working in the marketing department, this is a necessity.  All I know right now is that some of my projects for fall term involve working with food services.  There are some areas that need to be branded (wow! I’m going to get to help design logos for places that may be used for many years yet!) and lots of signage that needs to be cohesified.  I’ll be starting out as a straight graphic designer and all, then eventually, once we have generated enough work (ha, that won’t be hard), maybe next term, or spring term, my boss will be hiring other students to work as designers and then I’ll oversee them.  Whee! I met one guy who works for another department in the building and he immediately tried to steal me from my boss when he found out that I was a graphic designer AND have work study.  He asked if the marketing department would be using all of my work study allotment and my boss looks at him and says “Yes. She’s mine.”  So that was lovely.

Now, about the peeing…Back some time ago there used to be a graduate teaching fellow position to work as the night watchman of the EMU.  Now, part of the benefits of that position was that there was an apartment in the building that was provided for them rent free (how weird would it be to live in the student union?) When that position was removed, the apartment was taken out, kind of.  They took out the bathroom fixtures, and my boss repainted the walls (red and tan!) and the walls still have the tile most of the way up them.  There’s also a door (non-working) that goes into the rest of the apartment, I’m not sure what that’s used for now, probably storage.  Anyway, the office isn’t huge, but I get my own key, and I love it.  I’m going to end up moving a bunch of stuff in to help make it even more my home.  Whee!!
