first day of work

So I had my first day of work yesterday and it went well i am still learning all the ropes. I must of met about at LEAS T 30 or more people yesterday, I hope they dont test me with their names! My brain was fried after that day just so many things I need to know!

Everyone seems pretty nice and welcoming so thats quite a good sign. My supervisor is great I really liked how he said to me yesterday that he wants to know the expectations I have of HIM he says along the way I will know the expectations of me but its important I communicate the support that I need for any challenges that I may have makes me feel relieved.

I met a bunch of the apartment tenants and they all seem quite nice and friendly. But boy did some grill me with questions! ahha it was pretty funny and good in a way. i guess they wanna get to know me. My job is basically to work in social housing apartment buildings for people struggling with mental health issues in a program they offer which is a food program where three days a week a tenant in the building is hired to plan and cook a meal for its members which costs about a dollar. I have to just motivate them and shop for the food and help them out and sort of be a coach to them. Which comes naturally to me I really like cooking and working with people with challenges as I have my own,

I like that I can be open about it. One woman I could tell was suspicious of me and asked me why I wanted to work here and i straight up told here I have my own psychological issues as well so I think I have an understanding of others who struggle as well. My supervisor and everyone else in the company know this already as well as having a psychiatric issue and experience with dealing with people that also have this was required. The woman softened a bit and agreed that it is a good place to work. I mean I know I dress well and appear to be well and I dont want others in the building to think I am just this rich ignorant but well meaning person. that i understand what it feels like to be struggling and have challenges and hopefully they will trust me in time. I dont demand it yet. some are already more open with me than others and thats okay, I am worried about me having a position of authority and me being a more mild mannered and polite person as well as my age might hinder  the older men and women of respecting me. so i guess thats something that will come in time or i will have to learn.

went to a soccer game afterwards with my dads ex gf it was alot of fun she always makes me laugh so hard. afterwards we went and we picked up some middle eastern food at this great cheap place. Anyways I never know how to end my entries. but here goes….
