When I worked at Department of Transportation, I would come in at 8am and go to my cubical and start up my computer, I would be at work til 5pm. I was putting leans onto vehicle titles and taking them off of vehicle titles. I was typing in number of the leans, titles and personal checks, and verifying customer information. I did not have any problems – more... with management or co-workers. The hardest part of my job at D.O.T. would have to be getting use to the schedule, but it wasn't that hard. I enjoyed the atmosphere of being in my own cubical, mainly the same thing, different day appeal. – less
