you know how you feel when you've just flown to a totally different time zone, maybe even a whole other country, and you're trying to figure out where everything is? and even simple things like the street signs look different. and you've finally made it to your hotel and you can finally sit down and relax, but your mind is still reeling from taking it all in.
that's kinda how i feel right now after my first day of work. it's not good or bad. just different.
i can already tell that going from an agency setting to an in-house setting will really take some getting used to. going from a creative environment to a business/corporate/bottom line environment is also going to take a lot of getting used to. it's not overly oppressive. just different.
i'm trying my best to refrain from making any hard judgments this early in the game that may cloud or color my experience. after all, it is just the first day!
for the most part, right now i am 1. happy to have a job. 2. happy to be making more money. 3. happy to be working at a place where everyone seems genuinely friendly and welcoming! (where several people complimented my shoes)
tomorrow i get to go to a (really long) sales meeting at an office an hour and a half away. so it'll be me and my new boss in a car for 3 hours total tomorrow...not to mention glad-handing the entire sales staff, vendors, and manufacturers. should be...interesting?
