Today was my first day in my new work. I arrived at 8:00 AM and went straight to HR to get the Company manual and others. I went straight to my floor after but to my surprise, my boss was not yet around so I had to wait in the lobby of our floor. Turns out he comes in at about 9AM everyday.
Below are some of my good news:
- I received a Welcome Lunch Treat from my boss. We ate at Super Bowl with my other officemates. I made him decide since I was still shy to exert what I wanted even up to ordering the food. He also insisted to pay for my coffee at Seattle’s Best after lunch.
- There are abundant tissue and soap in a well maintained CR in our floor plus a hand dryer too.
- My officemates seem to be good people although dominated by males, mostly married (too bad for my single girlfriends)
My day consisted mostly of reading the company manual, meeting with my immediate boss to brief me on some policies and backend reports and going around other floors to be introduced to some key people in support departments.I also had a meeting with the Unit head towards the end of the day about the overview of our Department, goals for the year and some of his general expectations.
I left the office with an unbearable headache, partly due to hunger and information overload.
Do I like the work? Well, I feel overwhelmed but as I said to our Unit Head, 'I feel challenged'.

kaya mo yan kim! i was lucky that i only felt that a few days after -because they were wise enough to conceal exactly what i had to do. pero bottomline is, change is good. good-luck!
oh yeah, i also got hungry during my first few days... di ko alam san pwede bumili ng food, if i can bring my food inside... yun.
hehe. Thanks Maya. Little by little I am adjusting. Buti na lang the other new person came in today. I think I'll have an eating buddy already.
