The first week on the job - done

I've now been a week on the job.  So far so good.  Work wise is engagement but not overly stressful which is good.  As per colleagues, there is a certain aloofness regarding a couple of characters.  Particularly one I work quite closely with.  It makes me fairly wary ... like where I was previously, it feels like yet another episode of 'trodding on eggshells'.  Maybe I simply got to learn to 'manage people's expectations' so to speak.  In this context mine.  It's only a job.  Don't take it personally.  Repeat like mantra.

It was tougher yesterday when the nuances of it hit me like a tonne of bricks.  First impressions were very good but a few days on and I sense a kind of cool reservation.  Maybe I do my job too quickly ... I don't know really ... perhaps she's simply overwhelmed by her job.  The big boss after all is quite a prickly character to be reckon with.

Lord whatever it is, I still ask for favour in what I do.  Help me get along with people I already don't quite like.  Also help me work effectively with these people.
