First Day

Today was  my first day at my brand new job.  I was just a little nervous this morning, but not as freaked out as I thought I'd be. There was no traffic on the way in, and when I got there everything was laid out perfectly.  I spent the rest of the day doing the normal things like paperwork, and new employee orientation and tours of the new building. 

So far the people are wonderful.  That's what I always worry about.  I've just left some fantastic people at my old job and I've unfortunately worked for some truly terrible people.  The one thing that has the power to make or break anything for me is whether or not the people are welcoming and kind.  Thankfully everyone I met today had a smile on their face and were super helpful and genuinely seemed happy to be working there.  I take this as a very good sign.  The unfortunate part, which may or may not change, depending on how lucky I get, is the size of my desk.  I left a fairly spacious 6'x6' cube which was totally my own for about a 10'x5' space shared by 4 people, of which I get around 3 feet.  We share phones. I have no drawer in my desk, no file cabinet and no room for even a pen cup.  That wonderful album I've been working on to show off on my desk?  Never gonna fit... 

Everything else seems pretty perfect though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the space issue will work itself out, or I'm going to be just a bit grumpy.
