First day on the job

Started work again today, have to admit I felt a bit overwhelmed on my first day - hopefully I should be ok and its just early jitters.  Could use a hug though :0)

Any tips for keeping the stress down in the first few days would be great!

I like to scream hysterically for about 5 minutes. It starts the blood pumping. For everyone. Things can only get better from there, right?
Good luck with the job!

Second day has gone better, visited my first client today and they we're really nice, also found the fees we charge people is a lot lower than normal, so its easier for me to help people.

I like helping people :0)

Well I found I'm anxiety ridden when I start a new job but it helps if I don't focus on how well I'm doing it because I don't think anyone does awesome at a job they first start unless they have previous experience in that area and even then you still have to learn the ropes so to speak of the current job.
