First Days At New Work
You make a point of remembering names and faces and responsibilities. You make notes to refer back to. You are exposed to so many new situations, you feel like a lonely shipwrecked, in a stormy sea, without a life saver, left to drown. At last a few tasks seem familiar and you are sure you will be able to cope, just te be thrown into the deep end again, shown a new task, a new method of doing things, confronted with a new filing system, an intricate piece of office equipment. You feel dumb and stupid and want to run off into the distance. But, you are not a quitter. You know that eventhough everything looks unfamiliar, sooner of later it will just fall in place. It is the way everything goes, isn’t it? In order to boost your self confidence, you arrive a little earlier than what is expected of you. You organize your desk. You dress a little more carefully, you take that little extra care of your appearance. You walk a little taller, you make sure you always go about with a smile. And of course, you rely on your trusty perfume, to give yourself that little support and boost. Something that is familiar and comfortable for you in your new environment. You get allocated with a parking spot, should you need one, you get issued with access keys to certain areas – you are now part of this working crowd. You make friends with the blind telephonist who tells you little anecdotes and secrets that she has observed regarding the people you work with. Amazing how blind people can spot the obvious where people with sight often miss certain things. She recognizes you by your perfume and even identifies it as Dolce Gabanna, Light Blue, which equally amazes you. She tells you that blind people have their other senses to rely on, and that some things just stick better with them sometimes, than with sighted people, because we tend to take so many things for granted. Or that they just recognize things quicker than sighted people. She can’t really explain it, it just happens like that for her. Then one day you realize that everything is working out fine, you answer the phone with confidence and you deal with whatever query it is with ease, you greet people by their names, you take work to the right departments and everything seems to go the way it is supposed to go, and you realize, you are not useless after all, that those first unsure and uneasy days at your new work is over. You smile and confidently carry on with the tasks at hand, thinking that it is time to choose something that will remind you of a hurdle you have successfully overcome, maybe even a new fragrance. Something that will remind you in the future, of the time you have tried and succeeded.
