WARNING - THE FOLLOWING TOPIC MAY JUST END UP AS NONSENSE
Hello all, been a while, long time lurker occasional poster (of the board trust me you wouldn't want a poster of me
)
As some of you know I up until recently have been doing the same job for some 9 odd years. I would get up at 6:42 am have a shower, get changed have the same breakfast get on the same bus, get coffee from the same place. Stand up all day in a shop surrounded by blokes who spent their days talking about cars and football in between serving people. I would have the same lunch everyday including quantity and quality of food. I would work saturdays and have a day off in the week and occasional sundays, work bank holidays finish at 7:30pm on thursdays and that is what i did. Never worked more than 4 days on the trot because i came up with my own special work rota. Any shopping i needed doing i would just walk out and go do it.
Now this week i started my new job, monday was the first day and to say things have been different is a bit of an understatement, for example its a desk job so now im sitting down all day, it takes me a 7 mins to drive to work and as such i dont need to leave for work until 8:45 am so don't need to get up so early, i am surrounded by women, i work with 3 of my mates, 2 of which i have known for 18+ years, my lunch is supplied by my job and as such the quantity has halfed from what i was use to. When things calm down i will be talking to the same people on the phone 2-3 times a week. The people i work with are friendly nice people that want to be there. I work 5 days a week, don't work weekends or bank holidays.
I'm not trying to show off or anything like that i just needed to describe my situation at the moment and there will be a point to all of this.
The thing is, is that there are a lot of changes going on to my daily routine both physically and mentally and it is just being really weird trying to adapt to this new lifestyle, i'm finding myself mentally disjointed, losing my train of thought if anyone interupts me and we are talking anything at work at home, i need to bring up a calender on my computer to remind myself what day it is (no im not kidding).
I know that over time these things will subside and i will return to a new sense of normal where i have adapted and all will be good again, i suppose my question is has anyone else gone through a similar kind of thing? and if they had any helpful tips to help ease the transistion or found any quick ways to adapt??
Love you all
