Well I managed to survive day one of the new job hooray! I sat through powerpoints, videos and speakers for 8 hours and was also introduced to some new coworkers in the new facility. Its been a while since Ive been a "newbie"but everyone so far has seemed very genuinely nice. I am a little bit intimdated by the mass amounts of information I need to learn. But I am trying to meet the classes and learning with enthusiasm. I need to be a sponge! Also learned that dress code is business casual whereas Friday through Sunday jeans are allowed. Perfect! Today is day 2 where I will sit through more orientations for another 8 hours. After that, post office and gym are calling my name. How is everyone elses Tuesday is going well? Any big plans?

@maezee i've always preferred dress pants (what we call slacks here) than dress or skirt.

Nope just work, work and more work. I hope things get better, I hate feeling pressure to learn everything all at once.

Congratulations on your new job. And glad that you survived the first day pretty well. The first 2 weeks are always the worst.
