Starting Over...

Nervous...

Well...I started my new job yesterday. I can already tell the atmosphere is pretty intense and the dynamics are a bit complex. I hope I've made the right decision in coming here. I just have to remember that I got a 10% raise to come here and that my new boss is well established. The lab manager seems to be the most put-upon in the form of unreasonable requests, but stands up for herself. The other tech mentioned that the pressure could be nuts too though. I like that the staff seems to be supportive of one another.

My biggest challenge will be to carve out my niche with the permanent employees without making a rift with the boss.

I also have to remember not to freak out even as I get a crash course in brain anatomy. I'm still in the new person "honeymoon" period. I need to milk for all it's worth.
