....and I have my desk all set up! My new computer was delivered, and I've got a nice workspace facing the windows. We're on the ninth floor, so there is quite a bit to look down upon. Everyone has been kind to me, and I'm slowly learning how things operate.
Maybe I should describe the company a bit more. Write Group are specialists in Plain English, which is an international movement to make writing easier to understand. Governments (including the US) have passed laws that demand public documents and contracts be written in Plain Language, so that everyone knows exactly what it means. In New Zealand, Write Group works with government Ministries as well as private businesses (lawyers, councils, etc.) to ensure that their employees are skilled in Plain Language.
My flatmate is an editor, so she works in the WriteEdit department. She transforms documents from "goobledygook" into Plain English. I work for the WriteCoach manager, Michelle, who is in charge of public and private workshops. Companies and individuals take classes from our trainers in order to learn how to write more clearly.
I am basically Michelle's assistant. So far I've done some filing, client research, and computer work, and everyday will be a bit different, I suspect. The morning flies by.
That is all for now,
love,
Amy
