Hmm …
That seemed to go well.
My first day at work, I should add.
Saying that … ?
Saying that, it WAS our initial day day. Basically, my fellow newcomers and I were all getting inducted: getting a basic run-down of the company’s aims, and what it does, basic Health & Safety and Emergency procedures, and doing the basic ‘joining up’ paperwork.
Which was nice.
The real stress test will be Friday, which is my next shift.
Before then … ?
Well, before then, I’ve got today. Which includes a quick meeting with my Job Advisor: to see what help I can get, after returning to work.
Oh …
And I’ve got an interview, this afternoon, in Romford.
It never rains, but it pours …
