My first commute to a job in 14 years

[bigmouthstrikesagain]

On my first commute to my first paid job in well over a decade, (I have been volunteering for a few years)it's going to be hot, I feel sweaty. Sweaty handshakes, forgetting names, red face (I am ginger it comes when I am self conscious, hot, nervous). I am going to get through the day but aibu to be completely bricking it?! Probably not.

Good luck! You will be brilliant

Good luck

No one will expect you to remember names

Just smile and be yourself

You can do this!

Oh best of luck op. You'll be fine, no one will expect you to remember their name right away and your new colleagues will understand how you feel. Make sure you remember to drink plenty of fluids. Come back and let is know how it went

Cheers, currently v early so waiting for shops to open so I can get some water as I am parched. Built lots of slippage into my schedule today. I suppose you can be too early. Thank you for support it does help.💐

Best of luck, you will be great today. I let people know I am bad with names in advance! I think I wrote a sneaky desk plan to help me remember everyone's names. Totally natural to be bricking it, whether you are moving between jobs or going back to work after a long break. Just remember they wouldn't have given you the job if they didn't believe you could do it. They are lucky to have you!

See if you can grab yourself a mini fan, and good luck. Just think, in a couple of weeks time it will be routine, and you'll be wondering how to entertain yourself on the journey.

Well done for taking the plunge. Good luck !

Made it through the day no disasters, a bit of a headache. Head mashed by info overload and slight sense of terror. But I got through the day. Just need to get through all the tomorrows!

Well done BigMouth! The first day is always the hardest.

Finished my first paid working week. I am a wage slave yay.
