Set Up!

First night staying over and I start my job tomorrow morning.  I hope I can wake up in time!

The internet guy came over today and had trouble drilling a phone line through the wall, but eventually got it through the window frame.  So I have internet!  I was worried that I wouldn't have internet for the first while, which would really suck because having the internet would be key for finding out how to get around.

Some of you have commented thinking that I am a student.  I actually am no longer a student.  I spent the last four years completing a useless arts degree, hence why I am working part time as an usher at a art house theatre.  All the people working there are all university students or are around my age.  I hope to use this opportunity to make friends.

I guess this is my first request for advice, but how should I go about making friends with people at work?  Tomorrow is my first day.

  2. Start small. If you make eye contact with someone, nod your head, which pretty much says "hello". Always say hello to everyone you work with. If you stay silent and to yourself, they will not like you(speaking from personal experience).

  3. On my first day it was hard to talk to people so I observed them instead, and found those who I'd like to befriend, and of course, targeted them. It usually works even if it takes awhile, of course just greeting someone will get them on your good side.
