So I start a new job today.
You'd think my first day as a strategy director at a new place would be vastly different to the first time I walked into work as an account exec, but not that much.
It's fair to say that back then I was excited as it was the first time I had work emails, while everyone was talking about the new website department.
Oh and we checked films and chromalins back then.
But to be honest the first day is always the same, for me at least.
The fear of the unknown, not to mention lots of people you don't know yet.
Getting the IT to work (which was fine this time by the way).
Believing you'll never remember everyone's names.
Wondering how you'll get you head around client business.
Seeing a culture emerging, but not the undercurrents that slowly reveal themselves.
The slow but unwavering mission to get everyone to drink proper tea and coffee.
Remembering to say little and listen loads.
