Back from my first day and oh my god I'm SO tired making an 8am start. Despite hitting the snooze button several times and leaving considerably later than I thought. And everyone else starts at 7 ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ with plenty of people having longer commutes than me. I'll get used to it.

I was a bit too out of it today take in everything with it all happening so fast, but it was a good first day. Being at a depot does mean it's still very testosterone heavy but not my immediate manager which makes a huge difference. My team is really friendly and welcoming and open with each other which is awesome.

I am super glad this is just part time though, I so wouldn't have the energy for full time hours in such a high contact role. And I'd feel suffocated for sure, no matter how good the workplace was

E: also, hectic wind and humidity out there but... where's the rain??? ๐Ÿ˜ญ I think that's adding to the lethargy
