I start the new job tomorrow and to say I'm nervous would be an understatement. This is a Proper Grown-Up Job. A job with a 50 page business plan with "outcomes" and "deliverables" for the next 3 years with my job title next to them. I have targets I'm expected to achieve and I'm trying not to freak out about something I have to do in 2011.
Its a whole new sector, in a new location and in an office where I'm don't know where the kettle is located. In fact, I don't even know if they have a kettle.
But there may not be time for tea with all those deliverables to be delivered.

Good luck with your new job!
Hope your first day went well honey. Hugs.
Things always seem scary when they are new and unfamiliar but I'm sure in a few weeks you'll be ticking the outcomes off the list.
In my experience the voluntary sector always have kettles and lots of biscuits....
Hope you had a good day!
Hey, now you're talking my language -- project plans, deliverables, KPIs, service levels...ad nauseum...
Good luck with the new job.
Hey, hope your second day went well.
In my experience there are no deliverables until the tea has been delivered. For KPIs you need custard creams.
Thank you all.
So far, its been ok. It has mainly been induction type stuff so far and I haven't really done much, but I'm exhausted with all the new information. I know where the kettle is. Today I'm on an all day training course and tomorrow I have my first meeting.
I don't remember how I found your blog - a link from a link from a link or something like that. Glad to be here though - hope the new job shapes up as you'd like it to.
I hope your new job went well.
xx
Hope it's going ok....
Hope your new job's going really well.
