Diva, I get very impatient. I campaigned hard to get the job I just landed and I see there’s a great deal of “gung ho” team-spirit nonsense going on in the office that I was sure I wouldn’t have to mess with. I really wanted a job where all I had to do was do the task I was assigned, do what I knew how to do and let everything else take care of itself. Instead, I feel like I’ve been invited to a dance where everybody knows the steps but me.

Why is it when I start a new job, I get scared to sit down at the computer, because something unexpected will be in my inbox? I’ve only been at this job 1 week and I’m freaking out because I feel that I should be knowing more about what I should be doing (I’ve not been given much direction) and I’m scared to ask for help because it will make me look incompetent. Meanwhile, my anxiety is off the charts. What on Earth is going on here?
