Learning a Lot

Tomorrow will be the end of week five at my new job. I have to confess that for the first couple of weeks, I felt a little overwhelmed. Since I worked at my old job for over six years, I guess I underestimated, or had forgotten, how much there is to learn when starting a new job. Not only was it semi-new technology for me, but it's also totally different types of systems. I even had a few moments where I thought to myself "I wonder if I should just go back to my old job?". But, in those moments, I also kept telling myself (yes, I talk to myself a lot), "It's okay. It's going to take time to learn everything. They don't expect you to know it all right now.". Last week, and this week even more so, I've begun to feel a little bit more comfortable with what I'm doing. And I actually think I know the ins and outs of a couple of different things! So, although I'm used to being the SME, and not the "new kid", I'm learning a ton, learning technology that's relevant in today's world, and am becoming more comfortable every day!
