Back home after day two. Parking on site, slightly more relaxed attire, and any nerves I did have pretty much gone. Arrived early on site to work out passes, parking, and familiarise myself with the layout of the building at my own pace. A little pop quiz with myself, walking through doors and corridors and trying to remember what I expected to see when I walked in. I got a B- at least!
Today we got started on some familiarisation with the company policies, procedures, and the basics of the training program.
To say it is interesting is an understatement, and already things are far exceeding my expectations, and even my basic understanding of how things works.
The weeks ahead will no doubt get far more intense, and the learning curve far steeper, but at this moment in time I am ready for it, and raring to go.
Can't really go into too much more detail without running the risk of getting myself in trouble. However, given this blog is about me and my mental health, what I can say is I am in good spirits, feel like I am firing on all cylinders, and that I have surprised myself with my genuine confidence and engagement. It is not the exhausting, fake, OTT energetic anxious energy I once felt when in situations like this.
Who knew I was cut out for this environment!
At least that is how it feels at the moment, so long live that feeling.
Commute at the moment isn't too bad, schools are out, so traffic is quite light. I am sure that could change come September, but if that is the case, then I will be on the bike in a flash where possible. I am planning to start doing some riding commutes when things settle, and I feel more comfortable of the surroundings. Where to lock the bike up, busy times for showers etc.
Right, off for dinner and an early-ish night. Ready for Day 3
