First day of school syndrome?
Today will be my first day at my new job. I know it does not sound like much but I have been at the last one for almost 3 years. In those three years everyday was conducted with total chaos so it seems more like a decade to me and the change from that to the new place is going to be nothing less than complete shock. I am nervous about this.
I went to bed last night fine and fell to sleep fine. It was not till about 4am that I started stirring and taking notice of the things that were going through my head. Things like:
"It would be great if I sold a car my first day there"
"Am I prepared for this day?"
"I hope I get along with everyone"
"Will they think I am an ass hole for bringing in everything I feel I need to work on the first day or should I wait and bring in my stuff on the 2nd day?"
"WTF am I going to wear"
There are more things spinning in my brain but these have come up more than 3-4 times. It is like the first day of school when I was going in to junior high. The weather even helps the feeling because when I got out of bed at 4:30 there was a brisk feeling from the windows being open just like waking up in September to catch the bus in time. Yes, I woke up very early then. 5 girls, 1 bathroom and a Dad that has to get off to work meant a bathroom schedule that was strict and started early.
I hope I have made the right decision by leaving my last place. It was beneficial to stay with all the new product coming out but the amount of stress really started to wear on me. It is not like I am going from Honda to GM. Acura is still Honda so I have a base knowledge of the product & company and best of all I faith in the product I am selling. That makes a big difference in my profession.
I am going to take this day on as a change for the better in my life. I am going to be positive and make this work. Change is hard and I am a bit scared but I need this!
