I am 2 weeks old in my new company! Yoohoo! Actually quite happy, times passes pretty fast & I like the people I am around with. They are very nice & welcoming, such that I have forgotten I have worked in XX company. Hmm... Was I ever from there? Hehe.
Anyway I just felt quite welcome because HR knew I was reporting to work as well as my dept! Everyone knew there was an "Amy" coming & seemed to be looking forward to it & so far, everyone's been nice & chatty. One colleague said I was abit quiet though but well, I typically have no projects to work on yet & my mentor is away this week. So what can I say or do?
My desk is a big cubicle with shelves, a short cupboard & high partitions. It's strategic too. Though all of us are enclosed in the cubicles but people around do make small talk over the cubicles or walk over to each others' desks. Strangely enough, I found that I didn't need music to perk me up like last time.
In addition, people mill around & share food willingly. Even the boss comes out & talks to people, whether official or non-official. At least people in my new company feel "human". And I am glad they have tried to make me feel welcome. I am so happy that I come to work smiling with anticipation and go home happy even though I may have not done anything for the day! And I just realised that when there are events I have to work extra but seriously I do not mind as it's a good time for bonding with the colleagues, you get to learn stuff & interact with people of all walks of life! I am just so happy!
Oh, by the way, I had to work on a Sat for an event during my 1st week already. It was fun but scary though as we had to facilitate the media interviews with our company's spokesperson & one member of the public. I was really lost & stuck for words so I just kept quiet and listened/ observed what my mentor did. She tried to tell me the facts of the project but it was too last minute & I was really afraid I would say the wrong thing to media, which will be published.
Apparently there are more of these to come as I am dealing with media (press releases, media queries, speeches, etc). Well, well, well. There's alot of learning and I am raring to go! But yes, I am really scared & not very confident... =P
