tomorrow is a big day for me. it is the beginning of a new job. of course with all new jobs, there’s that nervousness that sets in when you get ready to go into an environment that you’ve never been in. so after getting my hair done, and polishing my nails, making sure my clothes have creases in the right place, and that my shoes are shining bright, i am sitting here trying to figure out what it will be like. i think everyone imagines what it will be like when they walk in, will people be nice to me, will it be crazy and hectic. sometimes i feel like it’s almost better to get some of the newbie stuff out of the way before hand. when people start new jobs they should be there a few days before hand to sign all the paperwork, fill out their tax forms, get their ID pictures taken and all that other time consuming fresh meat stuff you go through on the first day. this way when you go in for work on that monday morning (or whatever day of the week you start) you actually start. you actually can go in and start your training, or shadowing, or actual work. i think that would also take away some of the awkwardness of being in a new place. you would feel like you’re already a part of it, you already got the picture taken, they have all your direct deposit info on file, and there’s no question about what you will be doing that day. i’m looking forward to it all to be honest. i’m nervous but i don’t feel nauseous, which is a good sign. also i feel a sense of belonging, like i’m supposed to be going in tomorrow, and i’m supposed to be working there. all in all i can feel it in my core that tomorrow is going to be a good day. i’m wishing everyone a good day too… spreading the positivity wealth!
