Every first day on every job we've ever had. Simple or difficult, we first have to absorb company policy. First paycheck job, Swansons. Bring Frankie fresh coffee and a clean ashtray. Ostensibly to get orders for the day. Never happened. She just liked a little recognition.
I'm reminded by this card a lot of company policies over the years ticked me off. A few I quit over. But it can never be said I had a boring work life. For my Tibetan Oracle exercise I came up with sixteen different job types. And if I run across anyone who is obviously experiencing first day horrors, I always tell them they are doing a great job.
