I got my car, a Toyota Yaris about a week ago and I must say there is nothing like driving a new car. I do miss my Ron but our time together was most definitely up and our separation was well overdue. Driving has been a feat! My first day with the car I took my fellow newbie co-worker David to his first solo interview as he has yet to receive his car. My new GPS decided to just never work properly (got exchanged this weekend) so we were left with google map directions and our superior navigation skills to get us there. Well ok most of you know I lack navigation skills so we relied on David's skills. Needless to say they weren't too much better on this trip and we failed, having to call the office in shame to get directions... I must say in our defense though that the English aren't big fans of road signs which makes it hard to know where to turn right on "Main Street" when you can't even see "Main Street". The upside of the trip however was our finding of a lorry with a naked blowup doll stuck to the back.
Work has been pretty standard, for a first week that is. Everyone has been really good to me and I do believe it will be a more than fabulous work environment. The work seems manageable and they seem to really want us to stay so I feel good. about the situation I need to make sure that I don't put too much pressure on myself though. I have a habit of putting unrealistic expectations on how long I should take to learn a new job.
Well, that's all for now! I promise the next post will be more reflective and not so diary-like!
