First days are always very special, be it the school, college or the workplace. Though it wasn't the very first time for me at a workplace, but at least the first one in a "new" workplace.
The first day indeed brought about a tornado of emotions. The feeling of being totally clueless in a new place was visible on each of the trainees' faces. It was a bitter sweet emotion for all of us. Bitter, because we now have to leave behind our carefree college lives and step into the shoes of a responsible employee. On the other hand, sweet, because from now on we'll be independent and professional.
As the day went by the tornado seemed to rise even more. Within the first 2 hours we were told about the rules and regulations, the work and the duties. Somewhere down the line the feeling of being bounded by the rules and working for such extended hours bothered all of us that day. But here we are today, sitting at our desks, concentrating hard on our tasks and fighting against our " tornado of emotions".
Hope we sustain for a longer time and come out of the "give-up phase" successfully.
