This isn't my first job, but I must say - I had the greatest first day at work ever!! I was feeling scared before and I was not feeling good about myself before I get started but I never expected to have this kind of fun!
For the first couple hours of the day's work, Adam and Darren from Improv (not sure if that's the name where they were from), were invited (that's what I know) to build the confidence and to make us feel better about working at A1 (the name of the company I am currently interning at). They held a bunch of games and all of them were just sooooooo FUN!! I was laughing the whole time and even if I screwed up with some of the games because I was really shy (yeah), I never felt bad. I just saw myself enjoying that very moment. The games were just held for two hours but it already made me feel welcomed and happy and excited to be working for the next eight months.
The part that I didn't enjoy that much though was when I and my other two fellow interns Adam and Brendan have to clean the storage room. But when I am thinking about it now, it was a good idea that our boss, Jordan, gave that task to us because I get to know Adam and Brendan more. I learned that Adam likes fishing and Brendan really likes to tell stories (and I just wonder if he knows that). Technically, I've known them since we started training for the co-op program back in March 2013 but I just get to know them closely when, well, we cleaned the storage room. I must say that was fun too. :)
My other senior colleagues, Loretta, Anne, Yu and Verna were so welcoming. They were just smiling at us all the time and I have never felt that kind of intimidation and fear that I usually feel when I start working. I can feel their support towards us interns and they look really fun to work with! :)
Jordan and Ted, the two managing partners, were I swear - the coolest employers I have ever met. They're too funny! Ted doesn't smile a lot but his telling to many funny things. Jordan is really funny too. He's really close with his staff (and Ted too!) and I feel like he treats them as family. He just talks too fast and sometimes I can't catch up some of the things that he's saying, but I am more than 100% sure that he'll be so approachable if I ask him about something.
I am also very happy because, as I have mentioned in my previous blog, I am working with my close friend Serena. When we were choosing our desks, I just realized that I should have picked the desk beside her. I got too excited about having my own quarter and forgot about that. But not a problem though, I can just run to her whenever I want. :)
What I am feeling now? A part of me is feeling bad because when Jordan asked me if I can work on Monday nights and present to some group of people, I said no. I really do not wanna work at night but I guess I also immediately felt scared about the thought of presenting to people. I am still not confident about that but I know that I have to learn that and feel good about it.
What am I feeling now again? Actually, to be honest, I still feel scared, but less scared though than last night. I love the people, I love the firm, I just don't wanna screw up and get fired on April. But I am still very positive that sooner or later, I will get used to what I will be doing in the next 8 months and I will do my best to be really good! :)
I know God will never leave me and He will always guide me in every step of the way. :)
Oh, by the way, I got some pictures of me before I go to work earlier (or should I say I just wanna post my "OOTD".) Haha!
