But the truth is I'll start out slightly awkward, probably hang up on students by accident and feel a bit inadequate at the start. I'm working on the idea of accepting my less-than-perfect nature, as opposed to fancying the idea of being the best, prettiest, smartest in the room--I swear, we're taught at a young age that we need to be the prettiest in the room, but maybe that's a post for another time.
So here's to celebrating the geek in all of us...may we learn to accept that mistakes make us ever-so-endearing, and that perfection is overrated!
Best of luck, Ashley... I'm so happy for you having this new job (now send me some good vibes so I get one please) ;) And yep to the prettiest in the room thing...
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling.. Wish you all the best for your first day!!
ReplyDeleteLearning to accept our flaws is such a big step. It's hard, though, and trips me up all the time. I hope your first day is going wonderfully. :)
ReplyDeleteHope your first day was successful. I'm always nervous when I start at a new place...for the first month, at least! I have that desire to prove myself as well. Perfectionism - it's a pesky thing.
ReplyDeleteIt'll all be fine! Good luck for the new start!
ReplyDeletehowww did the day go?!
ReplyDeleteOoh, yes, how did it go? Perfection definitely is overrated. If a new colleague joined and nailed it, I would definitely be suspicious! Awkwardness rules :)
