FIRST DAY FIRST JOB
Yesterday I showed up to work at 9am beautifully dressed (I guess I was) in a maroon colored embroidered salwar and of course with full enthu coz its my first day at the first job!!
I entered looking around thro all the greenery and was totally amazed by the atmosphere and ambience! What an awesome place it is?!
First of all, the 70 of us who had got in thro the same off-campus had to spend three hours with the hr for filling up various forms which were a part of the joining procedure, was quite boring.
Wearing the temporary ID card itself boosted my esteem! But I had to call people to open the doors coz my temporary ID cannot be used as the access card to open the doors! I guess it will be too humiliating for the next few days until my permanent ID is issued.
After lunch I went to the dept allotted to me and my TL introduced me to 50 people, saying a ‘hi’ n ‘hello’ to every one, wearing a big smile (that costs nothing, right?). And for their names… I am extremely bad at remembering them! I've forgotten all but for five of my team mates. I have only so many slots in my short term memory. Many weeks of "hey...you there..." to follow.
I am to attend induction program on 12th n 13th at a hotel in Chennai, followed by training at padur from 14th onwards (heard padur is too good for ambience n food! I have been advised by my team mates to enjoy the most there!)
My work should start soon after training with Singapore timings (6.00 to 16.30 IST…. I HAVE SEEN THIS TIME ONLY EVERY DIWALI!!!!!!!!)
First day excitement and nervous energy dissipates by the afternoon, resulting in the afternoon crash into near-sleep. (Hearty lunch at saravana bhavan may also have contributed to this.)
So, yeah, I got a new job. And this is probably the last you'll hear of it because work is one of the few things I don't talk about here.
Postings may be light as I get adjusted to the new routine……..

It is ironical that only the first day in job seems more enjoyable than the rest ;), Congrats once again.
Enjoy the most during your training period, we call it the "honeymoon". After that ...??? What happens after a honeymoon, no marks for guess, its obvious ;)
