Just saw this as I was browsing my files. Sharing with you how my first day of work went.
AUGUST 5, 2015
Blank.
Known papers but unfamiliar texts.
Known design but unfamiliar hues.
Known place but unfamiliar faces.
Known air but unfamiliar ambiance.
Period ended in an ellipsis. I stare at every writing, making myself
familiar with every detail. No, it's not an escape to nothingness, it is
my entry into something that could make a deep mark within. This is me
venturing into new world as I move my head out of my comforts. Me learning,
me wanting to fit in, me seeing what joy it could possibly bring.
8:20. That's what my time card shouts on my first Tuesday as a responsible
woman but forgotten to run for time. Mixed emotions at first, overwhelmed in
the middle, and deviant in the end. Deviant. That's what I think it should
really be. I can any be at state, whenever I want as long as my pace is
within this corner. I made a list:
Mug
Baby Cosh
Baby Giorgie
Loads of post-its
Watch
Fancy pens?
Images
Sanitizer
Tissue
Headset
Phone Charger
Mini pillow
Those will be my comforts and also my joy every time I fit my butt in.
I'm excited for this. Excited to place everything in my way. Maybe those
anticipation will do for this day.
p.s. I have a buddy, his name is RR. I messaged him due to internet
connection. He responded, calling me “J”. For heaven's sake my nickname is
already short, so I called him R anyway.
