First day at new job

My first day went really well. I got to start at 9am and finished at 5pm. Suprisingly the day went fast and I didnt feel tired at all until I got home and sat down. My boss is so organised and lovely. My name was on the board welcoming me to the centre. She left me for the first hour to roam around and get to know the children and staff. I then met with her in the office where she gave me a key (as I will be opening the centre soon 7am starts ahhh) and a sheet of paper of what she will be going over with me for the next 3 days, talk about totally organised. My name is set up everywhere, on rosters, the computer, got a photo taken which she put up in the foyer with all the others.!! My boss wasnt there long today as her daughter is back from london for a week so wont see her much.
The staff all made me feel so welcome. In some way I think more welcome then when I started my job in palmy. Everyone seems so chilled and relaxed (sure they tell off the kids but just got a differnt vibe then from old job). I workd with two lovely ladies today upstairs in my department. Bascially i could observe the whole day if i wanted. I did do that and more, got right into it helping them out and getting to know the children. It was cool that by the afternoon some of the children came to me:)
Ive seen so many cool and new ideas already too. Also a few things that i cant wait to do, for example setting up a board for art to be displayed!
I think this job is going to be good. I think by the vibe I got from the staff and also parents I met today. I even had some parents tell me that there are lovely people that work here, so that was nice to get that kind of feedback.
Well I will be in bed early tonight hehe...and by friday ill be stuffed!! will have to get used to these 7am starts but bonus is i get to finish early which will be good for if i need to do things after work!

Night all!!

That job sounds nice and I'm glad you like it there! Makes the move so much smoother that you've got a good job so fast.
