I’m am what I am!
I’m starting a new job tomorrow and in the last two days I’ve had two people ask me with some concern what I planned to wear. Another earnestly entreat that ‘you can only make a first impression once’ and yet another person ask if I planned to be my ‘full self’ at this new job.
Should I be worried?! 😂 I always thought of myself as quite a vanilla colleague but perhaps as I’ve got older I have embraced some of my quirks a little more openly.
Either way, to answer the questions. I’ll be wearing a smart but comfy dress and my mum’s old denim jacket. I’ll be bringing biscuits with me to hopefully enhance that first impression. And yes… I’ll be being entirely myself.
Life is far too short to try to be anyone else.
And case in point… I intend to spend the evening before my new job relaxing in a bubble bath with an incredibly ‘grown up’ peaty whisky paired with an incredibly childish school cake. Embrace everything you love, no matter how contradictory or unconventional. Even at work. Actually, maybe especially at work. We spend too much time at our jobs to put on an exhausting facade.
We are what we are… random foibles and all!
