My First Day At Work
I'd like to pretend for a moment. I'd like to exaggerate what happened today. I have all the rights to! Afterall it is officially my first day with Trend JP. I'd pretend that today, I discovered the most fascinating things about my company. (So I'd skip the fact that our HR head forgot to send me an HR orientation appointment) I received a handful of goodies (mostly anti-virus related docs), a free membership to Walt Disney Club which entitles me to a Y400 ticket discount. I learned that I have up to Y100K free commutation allowance, I got a free TM pen, the RED BOOK and my 'gold-plated' calling card!!! Not bad.
Ken W. said I should be spending the day greeting everybody with 'Hajimemashite...Yoroshiku onegaishimasu'. But that's too much wishful thinking. If only I have the luxury of time. If only.
On the other hand, I for one, have gotten that 'guts' to send my own version of IPO, which I use in business analysis, all in Japanese (and proud to say without the help of my HB!), composed a very long Japanese email and immediately got responses ~ with more detailed information. Just the way I wished it would have been.
I'll be honest enough to admit that I don't have scary or outrageous accounts of my first day at work, I mean my first official day with TMJP. But I do know that yes, I can take full control of my life, I have gone through places, climb mountains, wept rivers of tears, fell down many times before, and got hurt. But I'm still here and standing. Face to face with my new life, with my new journey. And I'm probably too old for those butterfly in my stomach-y feelings and horror stories about nosy officemates who'd usually make routine intimidating round-ups. Oh for Christ's sake, spare me ~ ^o^ hahahaha.
