New job anxiety

In the two and a half weeks since I started my new job, I haven't learned very much about what exactly I'm supposed to do. It has me somewhat nervous.

"Somewhat," because that's not my fault, and the only way I anticipate being fired is if I stop showing up for work, am insubordinate, or do something illegal. Barring any of those, I don't see anything bad happening.

Compared to military life, it's kind of like a dream come true. I don't have to worry about promotions, my next evaluation, or trying to come up with something that's "above and beyond" expectations to justify my existence. There's no competition with any of my peers, and I have an easy job that consists of looking busy for most of the day.

Over the next two years of the contract, I'm sure things will get filled in, but even if they don't, I'll be just fine. Even if my job consists solely of being around to suck up federal tax dollars for my defense contractor employer, I will do the best I can.
