Being a working girl

Your first day at work feels like your first day in a new school or your first day in uni...do you remember how that felt like? You start becoming more self-conscious and start asking yourself questions like: will they like me? Will I like them? Am I going to be happy? Will I be able to do the work? And guess what...a week later these questions become less important. You think less about them and think more about getting into the routine, about getting more involved, about making this new workplace home as quick as you can...why? Because we humans dont like staying miserable for too long. Sure we thought and thought about these questions the night before the first day but by the second or third day you become sick of asking them! You start realizing that you can do it! You adapt because you must! And bottomline is, you do want to be there...you wouldnt be any happier stuck at home unemployed. So, we all adapt, we all get past the nervousness and we survive. The question then becomes am I happy here? Do I want to stay? How long do I want to stay? And I am happy to say that after working at Arpu+ Orascom for almost 2 months now I am content. The people are HILARIOUS and not a day goes by without me smiling...believe it or not it is the people that keep you coming back. Sure the type of work itself will keep you going there longer but at least the people give you the encouragement to really give the job a chance just to be around them. That's the case for me at least. The job is ok but the people are great. I look forward to seeing their faces in the morning and it encourages me to try harder to like the job so I can stay with them. So, keep your eye out for nice working environments coz even if u love the job you will leave if you hate the people. :)
