If you don’t follow me on my personal page here’s an update I posted:
Job update: I’ve made it to almost 4 months!!! I still don’t have ear buds, backpack or a coffee mug or cool water bottle! I’m ok with not being in the “cool club”! But I am now an old pro on the elevator and I am definitely more aware after the bathroom gets cleaned - aka I do ensure toilet seats are down! I’ve been treated so well and even tho I was out of the corp environment for 8 years and felt a little bit as if I emerged from a time capsule walking back into it - I have embraced the learning and get excited when something comes out my mouth instinctively and it sounded really good! I’m still dusting off cobb webs in the old brain but I have moments when I really know what I’m talking about and i say it and im like omg i remember! I’ve done presentations to executives again and it was nerve racking until I got started then it was like riding an old bike! I’m like a kid in many ways and get giddy when I do something good or something works out how I planned or hoped! Each week I’m more confident and I enjoy saying I have 30 years of experience to these young know it all sales reps who like to say “I’ve been doing this for 7 years and … blah blah blah - that’s when I can stop them cold and say yep I get it I’ve been doing this for 30 years and instantly they don’t think I’m some new pushover. That’s when I like being old or should I say experienced or maybe it’s just my competitive side. Either way I’m enjoying things and people treat me so well it’s unbelievable! I never knew there was a side of corp America that treated you this way - I’m glad I found the right place (for now). I’m just waiting for it to turn into something that haunts me. Until then I enjoy walking in saying my good mornings, bringing in snacks for everyone and just being thankful!
