First Day

Well kids today was my first day at my new for-real job. It was kind of frustrating b/c human resources told me that I would start today but they didn't communicate that to my office so no one was expecting me until next Monday. These are the first words out of my new bosses mouth: "Hi!!! [cheesy smile] It's so good to see you!!![cheesy smile] Are you sure you're supposed to be here right now?? [cheesy smile]" She thought that maybe I was supposed to be at an orientation across town but somehow human resources got their wires crossed again and I wasn't enrolled in it. Luckily it doesn't start until tomorrow anyway so I didn't miss anything. So I spent the day shadowing the lady who I am replacing (she will now be my clinical supervisor) as well as the girl that I will be partnering w/in the groups I will be doing. I think it went well minus the whole awkwardness of being introduced to people and them saying "Oh, I thought you were going to be here next week! [cheesy smile]" I'm looking forward to getting settled in and getting to the point of comfortability, I hope that happens soon and I think it probably will. It seems like a really great place to work and the people were friendly. I will be spending all day Monday-Friday at orientation at a different facility. I'll keep you posted.
