Coworkers


I met my coworkers yesterday!

Here's what I was afraid of:

1. There'd only be 2 of them, or 200. You don't want a TINY office, but you also don't want to be surrounded by strangers.

2. They'd be my classmates all over again. Young or just weird.

3. They'd be ridiculously well-dressed and professional looking.

4. There'd be no cubicles or offices - just a big open-plan.

I was elated that Fears 1-3 were totally unfounded. Yeah, it's a big open plan, but I can get a set of headphones if I need to. And have I mentioned that we're all on Macs? Yeah. That was seriously my BIGGEST fear -- working in an office on a PC.

The creative department houses about 7-8 people, and everyone looked to be my age. And in jeans. I'm glad I went shopping for new clothes but relieved that I didn't go TOO nuts. It looks like a few of my more casual items will work just fine.

I was only there for a few minutes, so while everyone SEEMS friendly and glad to have me on-board, I'm sure more interesting personalities will emerge.
