Yesterday I started my new job at my new company and it was ok. I spent ages getting there although on a normal no traffic basis it would take me about half n hour, this time I left 1 hr and 30 mins and still managed to get there just 15 mins early! Anyway yesterday was quite a boring day, well, actually it wasn’t boring. I didn’t have much to do but I enjoyed watching what other people were doing (and reading magazine articles). The radio was on so I spent most of my time singing along with that and listening to the new Justin Timbelake album that my manager brought in. I also ended up eating quite a bit of chocolate and spending quite a bit on lunch at Marks and Sparks….
But in terms of the atmosphere, its quite a cool one. We are on the fourth floor and when the lift opened I was greeted with pink floors and pink, yellow and white stripped walls (apparently it’s the girly floor where girly magazines are published so girl = pink). Everyone is laid back and quite friendly…so far…
Today however, was a sad day. I had to say goodbye to my other workplace who I’ve been with for over a year now. Yes I only worked one day a week and I hated the job but I somehow liked the people and even though I felt uncomfortable there at first, I got use to it and use to them. Today was also actually quite depressing because I had to do a hand over and it was so boring explaining everything. Plus my job has a time limit which was really disregarded seeing as the payroll came in almost an hour and a half late simply because I had to explain and explaining takes long! Nonetheless the handover person had a lot to take in so I knew I was wasting my time really explaining it. Plus I had already written out excellent training notes so she can refer to them as and when needed.
It would have been nice to at least have a leaving dinner or something because I have been so loyal to them. I’ve never had a sick day and even when I was sick I still came in. Today ended up being even worse than normal days! My director said they will organise something for and let me know later so let see if that comes to pass…
Going back for my official second day at my new workplace tomorrow, really hope all works out well ‘cuz if it doesn’t, Im screwed!!
