WW43: Open Season

I have now been on my placement for 128 days.

When it all started I was spending my days in training trying to understand the way the company works; the programs that were being used for business activities; the routine that I would need to establish for myself; the way that people interact in a work a environment. Everything seemed so overwhelming and complicated as if I had never worked before.

Four months into the year I find myself somewhat adapted to it all. What I have discovered is that my fears in the beginning were somewhat pointless and that there is always help if I have a problem. See, what I was not realizing when I started my job was that everyone around me has already walked in my shoes, everyone had been a fresh employee once and everyone has had the same fears, troubles and adventures as me.

So, now that I finally feel comfortable in my new flat, new job, new town I have to make some noise. What is the best way - a sequel to last year's Halloween party. What better way to invite my uni mates and my work mates all together? What better way to give the greenheads just starting to apply for placements a taste of the experience? What better way to thank everyone at work who has supported me in the first quarter of my placement?

(when you read this please answer those question with a: "Duh, there is no better way.")
