More excited than nervous for tomorrow

Mar 16, 2008 20:25

I am SO ready for my first day of work tomorrow! I hope I’m able to fall asleep tonight. Three months of retirement was enough for me.

I was already back to my energetic self today. (I was turning into such a bum not having anything to do everyday! No school - no job - no car..) I drove to Manassas with Ralph this morning for breakfast, then cleaned ( Read more... )

I just found out i got clearance and will be starting work in June as an auditor for the DOD also.. how do you like it so far?! I am so excited/nervous and dont know what to expect..

Are you going to be in Arlington?

I like it so far. The atmosphere is probably the best part about it. The people are great... it's alot to take in the first week of course but the more time goes by the more comfortable you get. It's relaxed yet professional and everybody is so friendly. I don't think I could ask for a better working environment.

I'm just now starting a new audit so I'm getting my first taste of audit work. We'll see how it goes! Prior to this I've doing training courses and helping my team put the finishing touches on their old project (editing, proofreading, referencing, etc.)

Have you heard from your sponsor yet? If not they should be getting ahold of you soon but just in case maybe call HR and ask bc the group that came in with me didn't get our sponsors until the week before work! (That was not supposed to happen.) They'll give you stuff that will answer so many questions!

I wont be in Arlington, I'm from Cleveland and thats what office i'll be at.. I havent heard from my sponsor yet but I just picked my start date on Friday, so I'll wait a little.. I hope the people in Cleveland are as nice as the ones in Arlington (I assume thats where you're at??) The dress code is business casual right? Clothes is like the thing I'm most worried about!! haha.. have you done any travel yet or do you know when you will travel?? How were the training courses? I hope you dont mind me asking all these questions! and if you do you dont have to respond! :)

Yea I'm in Arlington. And yes the dress code is business casual. I went out and bought like five suits anyway and wore them the first week, lol. NOT NECESSARY. But do wear or at least bring a jacket your first few days in case you meet anybody important. Dress pants a nice shirt is just fine. I've based the level of dress off of the people around me ( ... )
