It is always hard to be the new kid on the block. You have to forge new relationships, learn who to stay away from, who you can depend on, who is the gossip, who will run to the supervisor at the drop of the hat to "tattle" and the rest of the office back clawing gossip side of the job.

And then, to a lesser extent, you have to learn company policy, be trained on the company computer system, what is considered proper etiquette in front of clients, what is priority, the names of all your colleagues, persuade your boss and others to allow you to handle work on your own without seeming to b a know-it-all and all the rest of the new employee work side of the job.

It is hard and you actually have to work harder at getting through the first week, maybe two, than you may have to work during the entirety of your employment at that place of employment.

Keep ploughing through and you will feel better after you get the hang of things and establish a routine.
