day-from-hell No. 1

It was bound to come- yesterday was a day from hell. It's always overwhelming starting a new job, so I give myself 3, maybe 4, days-from-hell allowed. Well, yesterday was the first. I even wrote it on my calendar at work- 'Day-from-Hell', just to memorialize the experience.

woke up with day 3 of a migraine headache- the kind that makes my brain feel like mush (which isn't very conducive to retaining information) the headache lasted all day, into the next
worked my butt off to get a project done, just to be told to remember all the other things i need to do
unrealistic expectations from myself and my manager
organized a meeting- room was rejected, so arranged another room- rejected, arranged a phone call meeting, no phone available in conference room (hello- i work for a company that makes phones?)
arrive late to meeting that I'm supposed to be running
have all my notes taken out of my hand when the 'boss' needs to see them
can't access the wireless in the room to look at my prepared file (again- what company do I work for?)
have to run the meeting blind- no notes, no computer, no information
and so much more........

Even with all of the caos, I managed to keep a good attitude. I'm actually proud of myself. I only almost cried once. I didn't lose my temper, or vent to any coworkers. Overall, I think I passed the test. It helps that I'm getting paid really well and that eventually, I'll know what I'm doing :)
