are you bored?

I was asked at my new job whether I was not finding this position challenging. I said it was fine, why did they ask? They apparently have had people get quickly bored and wanted to know my thoughts. I smiled and said I was currently still learning minute details about the position as I went along, and wasn't bored. I also advised that I was willing to help out in any way I can as long as it didn't affect the main reason for my being there. I got a nod, and a listen, but not much feedback, because apparently no news is good news according to the person I was talking to. "Is there anything I could be looking at to improve on?" I asked, "Have you received any feedback?" The answer was no and that there was no feedback. ??? Nothing good or bad? No. So I have no idea. I don't know how I feel about that, it seems shady, quite frankly. Get to the point. Maybe there isn't any.

It was interesting how my interviewer's face seemed to fall a bit when I replied to their question of whether I'm bored with that I wasn't, there was always something to do and I was still learning. "Do you feel comfortable working alone?" I was asked. "Yes," I said, simply. It was true. I wish I could know what flew through the interviewer's mind.

It's a paycheck. I do my job as well as possible and go home. No worries. So let's see what happens.
