In three months, I have started two new jobs. The second one is permanent. It's MINE.
I have had a lot of jobs, and some things are always true:
1) You will always spend at least three weeks thinking that literally every single thing that comes out of your mouth makes you sound like a cock.
2) You will wonder if you will ever know everybody's name
3) You will wonder if you will ever make a friend in this new place
4) You will drink a lot with your pals to compensate for being a bit small and lonely at work.
I know the likely outcome to all four. Doesn't stop the old brian whirring. I am trying NOT to do too much of 4 because I am old and tired, but because I am old and experienced 1 is proving to be not too much of a problem.
One thing's for certain - before I know it I will have forgotten what it felt like to be new. Some things never change.
