Same job, same parents, yet life is feeling unfamiliar. Half of my job is new and working at home is really new. Working at home in my parent's house, where I haven't lived in 13 years, is really new and then some. I'm trying to do my new job but I don't know what the processes are, I don't have access to the drives I need, and I don't know who anybody is. Here is what today was like.
You've got mail: "Eme Ashe, let's meet to talk about what is going on with my open positions." Um..."What position and who are you?" All day long.
After staring at my inbox for a few hours, then staring out the window, I went upstairs to make lunch. I found the food pretty well but I couldn't find the plates, the silverware, or the cups. Hundreds of doors and drawers were opened until I was fully equiped to assemble my lunch. It hit me that while I've known my parents my whole life, (ponder that for just a second,) there is still much left unfamiliar. The same goes for my job. I know my recruiting system, I know how to login, how to contact my co-workers, where to get most of my questions answered. Yet, there is so much I don't know it is a bit overwhelming, for today at least. Ok, for this week at least and probably next week too. Soon I will remember where the forks are kept and I will know every name that dare enter my inbox.
AND I WILL GET USED TO SEEING THIS TYPE OF THING STARING AT ME!

All the familiar yet unfamiliar newness ... you just need to relax into it, sort of like a yoga pose ... (wha-at? I've gone to 2 classes so far)
