What would you have done?

Below is some addtional information about my work experience.

At the beginning of my work day I am joyful, but TIRED.  It is important to have positive work environment and one that is flexible. I am able to talk to anyone about the things that I don't understand, which is especially important at a new job. 

By the afternoon during my work day I feel very alert.  Usually by this time if I haven't finished all of my tasks; I am feeling overwhelmed, but still determined to meet my deadlines.

By the end of my work day everything is DONE!  I have a sense of accomplishment and am ready to go home to my family.
