Things went pretty well! Everybody is REALLY nice, and I have my own office! Its SO CUTE! Every office has different colored walls and mine are pale sage green. I plan to decorate in my favorite color, purple (there's already a purple clock in there). I love green and purple together! Also, they have a cappuccino machine in the breakroom which is cool, but also kind of evil (its so easy for me to get addicted to all that caffeine and sugar)!
I'll admit, the job is a little scary. I am going to have quite a lot of responsibility. I have a lot to learn and it all seems so complicated right now! But if I can pull it off, I will really increase my skills and make myself more marketable. I think once I start getting the hang of it the every day challenge will be fun. I just have to get past this initial scary phase!
I felt like I handled the day pretty well, but I think the stress may have caused me to get hives! I have always been prone to them, I have a skin condition called dermatographism. Basically its very sensitive skin, and when you scratch it, it causes it to itch, whelp and turn red. I think the stress of the first day caused it to flair up and by the time I got home I was itching all over! I ended up taking 4 benedryl (sp). But I'm better now, and all that benedryl has made me sleepy, so I'm going to go to bed. Thanks for listening, I'll keep yall posted!
