Life After Garages

I’m buzzing.
Despite the nerves, my first day in my new place of work was enjoyable, surprisingly productive and even more surprisingly relaxing. I think I’d got myself a bit worked up over the weekend and had built it into more of an obstacle than it needed to be. I had convinced myself I would walk into a room where everyone expected me to know everything immediately, and who would then hate me when it became obvious I was inexperienced and out of my depth. In reality, everyone was very welcoming and very friendly and they know it’ll take me a while to get used to things. I don’t have to put pressure on myself to make a big impact and revolutionise the business because it’s running perfectly well already. I just have to slot myself into the management machinery and keep things moving along. If I break out my Big Ideas Book and start stirring things up for the sake of it, I’ll probably alienate people and mess up the system. So there’s no real pressure to perform, which is lovely.
I’ll give you more details about things as I learn them myself, but for now it is nice to report that I feel I have made a good decision.
