My 1st day at my New Job
In a nutshell, it was fine.
Not much restrictions, no big boss to scrutinise me every now and then. Cool ! Can still drink hot tea with milk, hot water, hot whatevers and eat FREE, nice creamy banana cake in the office while working ! This is a "privilege" I dun really have in my old office 99% of ALL times.
I was supposed to start work at 9am. I reached the office at 0850hr and realised that I was the 1st to arrive ! Nobody's at the office and it's locked ! Had to wait patiently outside the lift lobby but luckily, there are some comfy seats with aircon there too.
At close to nine, a middle-aged man with round glasses came and let me into the office after I introduced myself as the "new girl". He didn't tell me about himself though and looked a bit stern. Later, I heard from my manager that he is not the boss but the company's accountant.
Must be some big shot also, if not, how come got the keys to the office ??
Anyway, I was brought round the entire office and got to know most of my new colleagues. Most seemed friendly and approachable. Majority of them, I should say 96%, are mature females with the 4 other males I know in the office are also mature and should-be married men. Hmmm.... but all looked like nice folks :) I try not to provoke anyone of them since I am the newbie and seeming like one of the youngest there, at the moment.
The work i was taugh so far is interesting, mostly statistical work and PC-based.
I still have more to learn within these 2 weeks of training !
Yours truly,
little miss sacred
