15th September 2010


Work – the first day!!
The night went by with a bit of twisting and turning with the alarm set to go off at 8:00 AM in preparation for my first day at work, I can definitely say that I did sleep very well.
I got a bit apprehensive that I might not be able to handle a full day at work, after like 2 weeks on holiday.
When the alarm went off, I got up but I do not think I have as much as 2 hours in every stretch of sleep all night starting from about an hour before midnight.
I did the essentials and got out just a few minutes after 10:00 AM with the plan to avoid the heavy traffic and the tailbacks between my house and the office.
Arrived a little late, T’was a brand new world. New parking lot, New office, New Chief, New faces, New workstation and a Brand New Life.
I was picked up from reception, introduced to a number of people and then linked up with the man who would be my main colleague. ..then came the spin!
Things worked differently here…from anyplace I have ever worked before, and I mean everything from dress code (the lack of it reallyJ) the attitudes and basically everything that comes with a job.
We breezed through that the tasks to be done and the issues or risks that might arise whilst double-checking tracks that are associated with an industry like this… and believe me
As far as possible, I tried to keep from getting over enthusiastic, the day accumulated in hours and I felt elevated all through to lunch.
At lunch I rushed to the closest “Subway” outlet and rushed right back
After lunch, we went through a few more tasks and individual responsibilities coupled with a few short recesses.
Time flies by and before I realized, it was 8 O’clock and a few minutes, I logged out and shut down my computer and bid everyone goodbye as I returned home, quite tired, definitely happy, got some food and thought about my day.
