Surviving the first day of work and not die trying ...
I really do not know.
Yesterday was my first day in the new company. Toured the facilities, I was introduced to half the world (take me months to relate their faces to their names) and 2 short hours later I sit in my office.
was not like my other "early days", which bombard you information and will explain many more things that can enter your brain ... but this time the fat manager accompanied me to my office and said "now, do your magic ... and welcome!"
I sat in my chair, and noticed that something was missing ... just a small detail ... I had no computer, no telephone.
Then I thought he could use the time to introduce myself to my subjects. I scored a couple of things in a notebook and went to his island (said of a large desk or a set of several small, that bring together several people from one sector or department), still did not remember the names but asked if had a minute. "Y. .. we're pretty busy," I answered calibrated blonde (do not know if it is calibrated, but I think the theme was inspired by her Sumo is the perfect stereotype).
"Well, it will be in 15 minutes then. We get together in that room over there." I knew this place would be empty because they had offered me if I needed anything ... and also knew that no oxygen would challenge me ... This little girl was "busy" eating breakfast and watching a video on Youtube. So I do not!
Fifteen minutes later they were all in the room sit-chattering ... until I entered and there was a dead silence.
I introduced myself, told them what he had done in my working life and what were some of the ideas I had to this new place.
then let them speak. Nothing. Nobody said anything. "Well, then that's all." It was whispering.
So I called my secretary (I have a secretary!). And we started talking ... crescent goes, coffee is finished telling me that my post had promised the blonde calibrated, but as she had risen to its former jefecito, ran out of the promotion. Your problem ... I knew that my stay in this company would be difficult, but I will not let this lady I make life impossible. Nonono. The strategy will win over his classmates ... one by one.
Lunch was very quiet ... ate a fruit salad systems while the little boy I installed the phone and computer, as I said "in a few days we bring you the notebook, is that shipping was delayed ...". Well, a new notebook ... I can not complain.
In the afternoon I had my first formal meeting. I met the creme de la creme and pay much attention to the way in which the meeting was taking place. You can learn a lot from what they say and let people say ...
I came home exhausted, I was ready for someone to cook me something good and make me spoon, but instead of the man expected, was the English, who decided to order Chinese food and drink wine, to tell the story: "I booked an apartment"
A-LE-LU-YA!
already felt renewed ...
