Started my job at the new office today. My usaul tactic at times like this is to go into surveillance mode. I basically play my cards v close to my chest and wait to see what the others at the office are like. But not today.
There was something reassuringly loony about the people at this place. It started with being given a huge hug from the lass who answered the door (we'd had a laugh at a couple of training events) and was all down(up?)hill from there.
The pinnacle (low point?) was being told "You're weird!" towards then end of the day. This was as a response to my saying that I particularly liked the word 'paraphinalea' - can't see why that is considered strange, it is just a GREAT word! Anyway, people generally come to this conclusion after knowing me for a while, that is if they ever get me to show my hand at all. The fact that someone has discovered this after only knowing me for a day leaves me feeling strangely vulnerable.
Is such openness a good thing? (That is actually a genuine question!)
