Big Day

Today I start the new job.

I am nervous yet excited at the same time.

Today, I will get my badge ordered, get shown around, start to learn the ropes. I have a nice notebook in my purse waiting for the notes to begin. I have my clothes laid out, stuff organized. I will soon get my face on as well as the outfit I chose to make those first impressions.

I feel like a youngster getting ready to meet new classmates. Will they like me? Will I make a friend? Am I really qualified for this position? How quick will I learn names let along the job? Will I like this job?

My title is Retirement Quality Analyst. There are so many duties with this position. I am interested and curious about the details. Basically, I will be auditing retirement accounts.

Sergio, tells me, no one loves their job. I know this not to be true. In fact, he is so passionate about his, I can't imagine him not loving what he does. I loved a few jobs myself. My work at the Deaf School and Preschools were among my favorites.

I think, I can learn to love any job given the right environment and work relations.

Well, it's time to roll! Wish me success!

Hi Janis, let me hug you and keeping my fingers crossed for the first day which is always a bit weird - for everyone. In my eyes you present the right attitude, experience combined with curiosity to learn and a bit of humble doubt - what better attitude could be there. Paula xx

P.S. You should add Dolly singing, Working 9 to 5, on your song list.

Thank you all! It was a very pleasant day! I think it is a good move for me. The day went well & I felt very welcomed.
Sheer~ good suggestion about Dolly Parton's song, however, she doesnt fit Vienna Teng's style, so I think I will pass!
