Well, the time has come. Tomorrow morning, I'm calling into Agoriad's (that's the agency who've helped me out, it's the Welsh word for "open") offices. The bloke who's been helping me out will ask me a few questions before taking me to Haven, just outside of town. Next, I meet the boss, he asks me a few questions, and I'm then told what my duties will be. I'm starting there on Tuesday if all goes well, on part-time hours.
My god, I'm so nervous about this, yet excited at the same time! Anyway, so as not to make this thread pointless, how do you normally feel when starting new jobs?

Basically, just be yourself..well the best version of yourself possible. Hopefully you will be competent at the task in hand, which I'm sure you will! Just try and enjoy it, and if it turns out that its not for you, then at least it was an experience.
Good luck x
it's not happened yet though :thumb:
Good luck! :thumb:
Well, thanks for the messages. The only change to the plan is I'll now be starting Thursday morning at 9am, not Tuesday as originally thought. All's gone well, and the boss seemed a nice enough man. Didn't terrify the living hell out of me, so all seems encouraging.
As for Friday, that started with a bit more time on the tills. Later, I was "educated" on the stock-taking element of the job. That filled much of my afternoon, when I had another panic attack. Damn things. So, I spoke this time to the manager. He was very helpful again, as they had been informed in advance that I had a few problems. Anyhoo, that's pretty much all to say for the time being.
Oh yes, musn't forget to mention something about the people there. The staff seems to consist almost entirely of young and extremely attractive women. I saw one of them coming into the shop and had to stop myself from drooling - what beauty! The staff are all very friendly, in particularly Laurie (who taught me about using those damn tills) Sam, who's probably the easiest person to talk to I have ever met, and Loz (well, that's what she insists I call her anyway) who kept giving me hugs. Well, I'm not gonna turn down the chance to talk to and hug a sexy blonde...
But anyway, enough about my tastes in women. Everything seems to be working out very well. I'm back there at 11am on Sunday, got a day off tomorrow and got some time off next week to get off to London. Yay!
