How was your First Day at job ?

So it started with a little bit of anxiety and nervousness (you can understand, it was the first day of my first job –a big day indeed). So yes, I was anxious and nervous, and my being an introvert added to it. Being lazy, and a procrastinator didn’t leave much time for me to get impressively dressed, but I think I was looking decent.

So after reaching the premises of my office, some percentage of my anxiety turned into excitement and I entered the office with a beaming smile. My boss was not there as yet and my manager showed me my desk and just asked me to scan the website I was going to start writing for.

I was just halfway through it, when my boss came and called our team for a quick discussion. I was totally clueless and a sense of inferiority set upon me, as I was the youngest, least experienced, and the newest employee there.

I was standing there all time like a dumb statue when all others were discussing and throwing in their ideas. That made me feel a little low, but thank goodness I have an understanding boss, and she was okay with it.

I would like to tell you that the way I was treated in my office on my first day, was exceptionally heartwarming. When I shared my experience with other friends of mine, they said that I’m lucky and they wished they were treated the same by their employers.

Being an introvert, I wasn’t much interactive with staff members, and was quite the whole day, busy in my own work. I didn’t even interacted much at lunch. That however, was not taken as a rude gesture by anyone and I was thankful for it.

My seniors took special care of assigning me the work I am most comfortable with, on my first day and that was very thoughtful of them.

So all in all, my first day at job couldn’t have been more perfect, although I feel I could have put more efforts from my side to make it even better.

I would love to hear your views as well. 
