Pink – it’s my new obsession. Pink - it’s not even a question. This past Thursday, I found myself in one of life’s most well known awkward situations, the first day of a new job. Like most people new at a workplace, my goal was to remain busy at all times. Usually I enjoy these types of situations, but it must have been the complete lack of sleep from the previous night that completely stole the wind from my sails.
After a quick introduction, I started out by doing the online PR tutorial at prquickstart.org; I don’t think I’ve read something so closely since I took the SAT. For the remainder of the day, I had no real assigned tasks so it gave me the chance to get a good understanding of what a blog should look like, and how I have a lot to learn about the topic. It is so wonderful that the previous interns have the writing abilities of a digital Hemingway; it sets the bar pretty high for my own blogs.
That’s about it, four extremely nerve racking hours of my life stuffed in to one little paragraph floating around the Internet. Maybe I’m missing something, what about meeting all the smiling faces around the office, the occasional visit by a little, fluffy, wet-nosed friend? What about the fact that I will be getting invaluable experience in my chosen field? I guess the first day was not all bad, it seems getting through it is just the right of passage for something so rewarding.
