Today was my first day of work and I had a really really great day :)
For starters, as I was getting dressed in the morning, the Boy texted to wish me a great first day at work. I was so touched by the gesture, especially as he'd woken up early just to text and it certainly put a huge smile on my face for the rest of the day :D
My friend V had also been a star, calling me up the day before to fill me in on what I'd missed on Friday and met me at the train station so we could go in together. Once there, I was a bit blur at first, suddenly there was an information overload and I had much to catch up on. We were assigned our desks and mine's in the corner on the 17th floor. A bit of a bummer as my boss and the rest of my team are on the 19th but oh well. People have been applying to move around but frankly, I'm not planning to go anywhere. The dude I sit next to, A, is hilarious! We got along instantly and were talking non-stop, only to realise we'd missed our next meeting, lol. People thought we'd knwon each other for ages by how friendly we sounded but he's a geniunely nice person. The rest of the newbies have been a really nice bunch too. Everyone's really friendly, unlike the rumours I'd heard about people being fairly snooty in this firm.
Workwise, there wasn't anything to do on the first day. My boss was the same guy I'd interned for two years ago and it was nice that he and his secretary still remembered who I was so I was welcomed back. I was initially told that I had been assigned to someone else so it was a nice surprise. Anyways, the day was spent doing orientation activities like researching and then there was a court visit.
Afterwards, a bunch of us went out for coffee and it was nice to just get to know a few of the other people :)
All in all, it was a lovely start and I couldn't have asked for more. I had been nervous about not making any friends, especially after the disaster that was my Dip Sing year but thankfully it was all alright! Hopefully this will continue :D
