Anxiety in the Work Place

All new experiences cause me anxiety. It doesn’t matter how wonderful the experience may be, I still freak out.

Today I had my first day of training, and considering the first interview was pretty awkward (despite getting the position), I thought today was going to bring on a whole new level of anxieties. Training is just always awkward, you meet a bunch of people, and you’re bombarded with information, and then you’re expected to get things done….somewhat correctly. 

But to my surprise, I’m working with a former co-worker, who happens to be very sweet, so yay to familiarity! Also it wasn’t a one to one training. There was another girl who was being trained. We got to talk, and we’re pretty much in the same place in terms of life/academics, so it was exciting chatting with her. She definitely made the whole situation much more comfortable.

I’m looking forward to doing this every week, as well as learning how to use the equipment. 

It wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be.
