First day at a new job

Everyone experiences that first day at a new job! Walking into the unknown, wondering if your going to like it and who your going to meet. Since I turned 18 I've always had a job in a pub or a club, since graduating and moving home I decided to continue down this path as its always a relatively fun job and I dont want a 'proper' job yet. But you still have those 'special' moments on your first day.

Having worked for the company a few years ago and having gained experience behind the bar over time I managed to spare myself the usual blonde moments. One however was when I entered the keg room to fetch the fruit from the fridge and for the life of me I couldnt find the light. Firstly I assumed it was automatic so I ran in and out a couple of times waving my arms around incase I was just a bit too small. Then I started feeling around all the walls like I was wiping them with an invisible cloth and just as I was about to give up there it was...right at the entrance infront of my face! Luckily no one seen! 

The thing I find most interesting starting a job is sussing out the people. In this job everyone has been pretty welcoming but in previous jobs within a week you find yourself seeing different dynamics within a week. You always have to watch what your saying when you first start just incase you say the wrong thing about a wrong person. You have to listen to others bitch about one another and not comment whether it be about someone always calling in sick or someone taking too long for there break. 

In previous first shifts I have always found myself asking the most ridiculous questions or constantly messing things up (like the time I put a food order through and forgot to save it and 45 minutes later they still didn't have their food!). But the worst which I'm sure everyone will agree with especially in a pub job, is when it's a quiet first shift and you feel like a spare part feeling like you want to do something but have not a clue what to do! Thankfully none of this occured and the only problem I had this time was trying not to be a pain in the arse know it all! I mean when youve worked in a bar, youve worked in a bar, even the till systems were pretty much the same, not that I'm complaining :P Overall pretty decent first day, if only they were all the same!
