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.
