First day at work is generally a li'l exciting, scary, non-eventful and JUDGEMENTFUL. That’s how it is for me at least (n I know it’s for you all as well (even though you may not accept it. (Screw U!)))


Actually I have never taken my "first day at work" seriously.


But now that I am on one, I'm hoping that everyone is my type. My type is anyone who tries to look/seek out his or her own type, scan people, become excited, wanting to start communication at the drop of a pen.. basically tries to fit in. To be freakingly honest I can only pull that act for about 1/2 a day after which i become my own boring self, who can NOT pretend anymore!!

I like the new place, people, new energy the whole works... I'm happy to be here mostly because of my ex-boss who is this cool guy I have so much in common with AND it's only coz of him that I agreed to take up this shit till I don’t find anything of my interest.
The first interaction I have in this new office is with this 40+ ex-anchor on spirituality (my fav. subject) which balances my hyper anxious self. The discussion went well... made a fan.. nothing unusual.. on a whole it was like a regular day except for more ppl to talk to, more energies to surf and more personalities to judge and more material to gossip on later. Yup that's what I do! I judge people! There, I said it.
Others are just normal breathing in and out people who do what they are told to do, eat at their own desks and some are adventurous enough to step out and eat their home made lunch at a borrowed table from "24 Seven". Nope, no one great, nothing interesting. Same Ol' Lame Ol'.

Anywhoo this 40+ becomes my new scapegoat (I decide I'll flaunt my knowledge to him when I have nothing else to do), my ex-boss is always there whenever I'm dying with boredom and my NEW boss is this super cool, ever smiling chap whom I get absolutely comfortable with in the first meeting itself. I decide to like this place but at the same time not be overly excited and presumptive on the first day itself.
On the whole I realize that even though the place is Ok, the work is strictly OK and the people are fine, I won't be here for long.

THAT was my first day.
