End of Week Report

So my first week at my new job is complete. Everyone is nice and it went along pretty much as I’d expected it to - with two days of total boredom reading endless manuals, company procedures and finding my way around the open plan offices, meeting people and trying to remember their names. Also, previously use to an all male office environment, there are two women sat across from me - and chatty ones too!!

I only managed to get the "have I really done the right thing?" thought twice – once on the Monday afternoon and then again on the Tuesday afternoon whilst struggling to increase my caffeine intake in order up to keep me awake for a few more hours before clocking off. Still, I kept telling myself that this was to be expected and things would get better.

Thankfully, Wednesday proved this, and I finally got my hands dirty by digging into the real meat of things, resulting in a far more stimulating end to the week. Never the less, I’ve got three days worth of in-house training next week on their various products. I just hope it’s going to be interesting - otherwise I may need an intravenous line of super strength coffee!

So with my first week out of the way I can now switch my attentions back to Match.com. However, judging by the lack of response to my previous ten messages, I think the recent positive change to my life isn't as wide as I'd first hoped. Still, there's still plenty left in that glass yet.
