What to expect on my first job day. 💻👔




The next Monday, I will start my first day at my job in a bank as part of the IT staff; personally, I'm excited about this new job. I have a pair of friends working there, but my only concern is the schedule. The work schedule is a little weird than I expected; it started from 4 pm until 12 pm, leaving the weekends off.


I have been to a couple of sites looking for advice that allows me to take advantage of this work and fastly adapt. I was starting to prepare my body and mind to stay until late at night to train my biological clock.


It will be the most challenging thing about my job, but it is an opportunity to prove myself in other conditions and shows others that I am a good worker and someone who can trust.


Knowing new people always has been another demanding ability for me. Since I finished college, I barely hadn't new friends, only people I knew. So this time, I will try to know other people better, approach them, and make new good partners and maybe some new friends.


Another concern I have is the fear of losing my other abilities like English skills or my physical condition; I will try to carry life as normal as I can and put my priorities and my health at the top of my life.

The first week will be challenging, but this experience will surely be full of knowledge.

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
