First day of school, first day of work. It's all the same to me. I hate the anxiety I get over new situations.
So today I drove into Denver to my new office with high anxiety.
All went well. I'm alive and I think it will be just fine. I'm enjoying working with my new boss. She was a former boss so I knew the work relationship would be good. It's an office full of women, so that can either be good or bad. We'll see.
My boss has already thrown me into things such as Executive Board committee meetings, etc. I'm grateful that she knows I can handle it and doesn't treat me like an idiot or a newbie. I'm also grateful for some tasks that I KNOW I can do. It always helps when you can do a few things in a new work environment from the get-go. Makes it less stressful for me at least.
Now if I can just figure out a commute route that doesn't take me forever. This place is a bit further than my old job and I am one of those people that loathes commuting. When I lived in L.A. I was one of the few people who could actually take the bus to her work as it was in my own community. Rare indeed.
