First day - Meeting the Borg.
I started yesterday with my nerves totally going off and doing the whole first day job thing. We were shown around the building, sat watching the induction trainer talking alot and making bad jokes. I kinda felt bad for him because we weren’t very interactive.. We kinda just stared at him, I think he thought we were a tough crowd. I got my swipe cardy thing (cool) and was late back from every break yesterday *sigh* so i’ll have to just avoid being late again. I need to find my watch since I obviously need it.
As inductions go, it was pretty standard, but left me feeling that perhaps I have been taken in by the Borg (which is what I will now call this workplace) and will soon be assimilated. We were told about how wonderful the company was, how much for the workers they were, how big their profits were going to be etc. As inductions go it was pretty informative. No emails from work tho. I’d rather not risk getting a warning for sending email unless it’s work related. Also - no mobile phones to be left on when going into work. Must be switched off or it’s an instant warning!
I sent an email to the social list that all my group of friends sit on, and the only reply was from someone who’s life is alll about her at times, but I love her anyways - everyone is different. I am sure that half the time I overtalk people is cuz it’s so hard to get a word in edgewise about me Me MEEEE.
This getting up at 6am is crap. My god - who ever thought we needed to start work at 8.30am in the morning and catching busses into the city needs their head read. On the plus side, I get to watch aerobics oz style and see how the girls do their crunches incorrectly! It’s weird going to bed at a normal hour, I am so used to going to bed at midnight/1.00am that the thought of being one of these people who are part of the rat race is quite scary. Welcome to the real world lori!!!
