Lovin it !!! :)
Hi guys
Wtll, Monday I start a new job (it's a very large concern and there are 8 of us starting), but today we were invited in for a coffee ,meet some of the team, have a look round etc. Although a huge multi million pound business, they are very relaxed and have these gatherings for new starters so that staff are already a little familiar with the place etc prior to officially starting. Anyway, after having coffee in their Starbucks coffee shop, chatting etc, we were shown round - yes you guessed it - they started with the restaurant facilities. OMG - I am going to struggle big time for the next 5 weeks (the duration of the group training) not only do thay have an electronic sandwich ordering facility - seemed like a hundred different breads, fillings, condiments, sauces etc but there is a massive salad bar, soup bar, jkt spud bar, traditional food bar, cook to order wok bar, dessert bar, crisps, snacks, etc etc but it is all subsidised !!!!!!! Obviously we will all be having our lunch break together for the next 5 weeks so it is gonna be mega hard. At the moment I try not to have any of my packs at all during the day as I find I "need" (phsychologically) them most in the evening. So, I will continue that while I am there, but am worrying about the " not for me thanks - I don't eat anything all day " statement I will be making. Yes I know it's nobody elses business but I just feel like, at a time when we will all be bonding, I will instantly be alienating myself ????!!! Oh dear I am being paranoid aren't I - whats the big deal here I ask myself. Just wanted to get it all out ! x
