Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye

[jadesfire]

My new job starts in...*checks clock*...1hr 45mins. General busyness means that I haven't been around as much as I would have liked to have been, and since there's no let up in the foreseeable future, I'm liable to turn into a hermit for the next few weeks. There's a picspam lurking on my camera, but I couldn't find the time to post it - maybe tonight if my brain survives the day.

I have to admit that my biggest fear of the day is so many new names! I'm really, really terrible at names when I'm not trying to learn new procedures and subjects. When I'm distracted like that, I think my only chance is to scribble things in the back of my notebook and hope.

Anyway, I'm wearing my posh new skirt that I got for my birthday, the posh new jacket that I picked up on a charity shop, I have a Moleskin notebook and an MP3 player. I'd say I have my brain but we all know that's an exaggeration.

*deep breath*

I think I'm ready.

*wibbles*

New names really are a terrible thing to learn. But you'll be fine, I'm certain.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*waves to the Adipose* and you, of course ;)

Thanks! I shall report back later...

*HUGS* Good luck today, I'll be thinking positive thoughts your way. And you know, I really had not realized that you and Michael started new jobs at the same time. That's kind of awesome. And, I hope, a good omen for you both.

*clings* Thank you!

Huh, that's kind of neat :D Well, I shall also report back later on!

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

GOOD LUCK!

I am sure the names will come. *hugs*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I figure if I just keep *using* the names all day, people may think I'm odd but I stand a chance of remembering them!

Thank you! *hugs back*

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Oh you do so have a brain!
Good luck today/I'm sure you've done fine (delete as appropriate to the time of day)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Have? Possibly. Actually be capable of using? We're about to find out...

Thanks!

Ha, I'm utterly terrible at it myself, so I write little notes to myself (e.g. "short blond hair=jane" or whatnot). Probably best if other people don't see the notes, but it does help ...!

Good luck!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*nods* That sounds like a cunning plan. As you say, private notes are probably a good plan, but definitely useful.

Thanks!

Good luck! You'll be fine and they'll love you. :-)

GOOD LUCK!!

I'll be in the same position next week! And yes, names... oh dear...

You'll be fine! :D

By the time you get this, you'll have survived your first day!

But first congratulations on getting a new job! And you sound really quite prepared - feel good clothes, scribbling things down etc.

So, hope you had a good day!

*hugs*

[darsynia.livejournal.com]

Good luck! \o/ So happy for you :)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

You're armed with a notebook. That's excellent.

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

It's going to be fine! *hugs you anyway* They'll all love you, cos really, who wouldn't. And you'll learn the job in no time. *thinks positive thoughts for you*

[nnwest.livejournal.com]

You're probably already way into it by now, but good luck!

[szm.livejournal.com]

Good luck! I hope everything is going well so far. I'm sure you are astounding everyone with the amount of awesome you're displaying.

[pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com]

Good luck! I hope you have a great day!

(I'm also not that good with names, so notes and memory tricks do help.)

[naye]

Sending happy positive thoughts of name-retention in your general direction! :D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you've probably been a work for hours and hours now, but sending positive vibes your way!

[azure-chaos.livejournal.com]

your first day will probably over now but good luck in your new job in general. i have to admit that i've missed what the new job is (i know what you did before from your posts but this new job is a mystery to me) i hope you enjoy it lots and that you learn names. of course, you should always open with the disclaimer "hi, nice to meet you...sorry if i forget your name i'm hopeless" lol. then you've covered yourself.
