Hi everyone! Here is a workbook so you can follow along today! And also the slides just in case! See you all soon!

what’s something about your day-to-day job that would make people outside of your role go“…sorry WHAT??” because I’ve had one of those moments today and I’m still not over it 🤣🙈 it’s only my third day… still trying to act normal, still nodding along like “yep yep I know what’s going on here”…and I spotted a few things in the community that were being done manually, that really didn’t need to be…. so I just went off, automated a few bits, tidied things up, made life easier where I could… nothing crazy (in my head anyway 🙈) next thing I know I’ve got a message off my manager like “how did I do this job without you?” 😂…. which is obviously lovely BUT also??? it’s been 3 days calm down 🤣🙈 AND THEN… at 12pm I get told “you’ve done more than enough work this morning, go take a nap or something and come back at 3pm” 😭😂 A NAP???…. in the middle of the day???…. I was fully sat there looking at my screen like… is this a test??….. do I say no??…. do I pretend I’ve got loads on?? 🤣 because in my old world if you stopped moving for 5 minutes someone was asking questions… and now I’m being told to go have a lie down like I’ve had a big morning at nursery 😂🙈 I can’t tell if this is luxury or I’ve accidentally joined a cult but either way… I’m not mad about it 🤣 and it got me thinking… there are SO many moments in our jobs that would sound completely unhinged to someone on the outside… the weird wins…. the random messages… the stuff that just becomes normal to us but would make no sense to anyone else so, please tell me…. what’s happened in your job that would make people go“nah you’re chatting rubbish” 😂….. answers in the comments. I hope you are all having a great week ✨❤️😘

And wow… straight in at the deep end doesn’t even cover it 🤣🙈 Back-to-back calls all day, inductions, introductions, “this is what we do”, “this is how this works”, “you’ll meet them next week”… my brain has been on fire since about 11am 🤣 You know when you’re nodding along like “yep got it 👍🏼”…absolutely haven’t got it & I'm just glad the ai assistant sent me notes so I can go back over it all 🙈 Then just to keep me really on my toes… the guy I’m working with casually turns up at my house to take a headshot 😭…. No warning….. No “hey maybe brush your hair”….. Nothing.I’m stood there with my hair looking like a burst mattress thinking cool cool cool, love that for me…. I’ll share the pics when I get them 🤣🙈 But… it’s been a good day…. A LOT to take in, and I can already tell it’s going to take me a few days (minimum) to properly find my feet… but the people are lovely, the energy feels good, and I’ve got that little feeling like yep… this could be my place ✨❤️💃🏼 Oh and… I’ve already got a 3-day London trip booked…. I thought it was 2 but turns out it’s 3 👀 Office day, go karting, drinks, sleep, home.I mean… I’ll take that 🤣❤️💃🏼 Think I’m going to like it here you know…. How’s everyone else’s week started? Wins, chaos, first days, random headshots at your front door 🤣🙈… I want to hear it all ✨❤️💃🏼
