I faked it, but did I make it?

^{another unrelated picture.. but ooooh pretty bridge! (if you are into that)}

Well some people in the comments asked me to follow up on this and let them know how it went. I am right now in my last week. I finish this posting on thursday, though technically tomorrow is my last day as I am at a training course all day thursday.

Anyway, I definitely did not know what I was doing in the beginning. I was nervous as hell and the first day in the office was quite painful because of it. My nerves eased after a few days though and now all is pretty good. I spent a lot of time in the first two weeks meeting and interviewing colleagues, finding out what their jobs were and how that related to what I was doing and figuring out what the expectations of my new role were.

I found after some time that things were getting a little easier and my biggest challenge was people management.

This post is a long-winded way of saying, "everything went fine, its all good and i learned stuff too". I also got some praise for my boss in handling some tricky staff issues. so all in all I think it went well, and I was able to 'fake it till i made it'. To me know that statement means something else. To me now it refers to the learning curve you are faced whenever you face a new job.
