Night-Before Jitters

Though I enjoy staying up late (and hate getting up "early"), it's about time to hit the proverbial hay. I officially start a new job tomorrow as a project manager for a market research firm.

I've had a week of training, but my predecessor is done now so Monday it's all me. It's a small company, with only a few full-time employees. There are about 10 part-timers, and a few people that work offsite, as well. I really think I'll be comfortable in a small group like this...a casual, cozy atmosphere. I'm not sure I'm cut out for a big corporate environment.

I'd met the owner a few times before when she worked on projects for the ad agency, so it's not like they're all complete strangers or totally foreign concepts. But it's still a new job, with tasks and people and processes and offices that are all new to me. I was at the agency for 11 years, and worked at a hotel for 12 years before that. I'm not used to being the new person! But sometimes you may not realize that you've been in a rut until you've gotten out of it. A fresh start can be a good thing!

I'll tell you more about the job once I've settled into it some. Wow...been awhile since I could say that I had an actual job. Might take a little bit to get used to that.

Do you remember the last time you started something new?
