It feels like I just stepped off a cool chilled plane and walked right into a desert sandstorm. These few days, the world as I know it has literally been taken apart. Suddenly I'm right at the bottom of the food chain again. There's considerable (implied) pressure to prove myself, that I'm not some inexperienced idiot that nobody wants to listen to. Which just means I have to step up my game within these 3 weeks, or I'm toast. No, worse than toast. Burnt toast. Fresh into my first day, no scratch that, make it first two hours at work, I'm asked to attend a company briefing. Then today, the team was taken out to meet a client. When people ask me what I'm responsible for, I almost have to bite my tongue to stop myself from laughing cynically. I have to tell them in the straightest face possible that I'm doing this and that, but oh maybe I forgot to mention I'm only a few days into this. Ha ha. I now have two Blackberrys. They gave me the latest model, the newer one than the personal one I have. I'm not awestruck really, giving you all these resources and assistance (admin and IT people ever ready to assist etc) just means they want you to ramp up your game, FAST. And that point is not lost on me, however thickheaded I might be at times. I've officially graduated into working 13 to 15 hours a day.
