Hi,
I know what you mean, and can really relate to what you say. I have been working where I am now for quite a while, but starting a new job was always a scary experiencing. I would have knots in my stomach and feel just plain nauseaus the first few days on a new job. But, it was never as bad as I thought it would be. When I started working where I am now (I was in a junior position at the time), I was so shy and nervous that I barely said a word. After I had worked there for about 6 months, I started coming out of my shell just a bit, and my boss made a joke that he was convinced that I was a deaf/mute when I first started working there. I laugh now, but that's how bad I was in the early days.
Have faith in yourself and don't put unreasonable demands and expectations on yourself. You will do fine, and before you know it, the first day jitters will be a distant memory.
All the best to you. Take care.
Tamara
> Hi,
> I meant to put your name on one of the previous posts. Thanks for the response. It paints quite an amusing picture. OK, so I'll leave the riot gear at home...for now :-) My boss seems pretty nice actually. I don't think I want to throw anything at him yet. I have a lot of fears not based on reality. I'm almost scared of my shadow.
