Happy birthday to me and happy new job to me too :)
-
So it's my birthday today and this week I started a new job too. It's always a bit anxiety provoking being in a new environment with new people as well as being the noob - however the people are kind, the environment is the same set of offices I was in before my last job and they probably would not have hired me if they did not think that I could do the work(they said that they were very impressed with the exercise I did for them as part of the interview process). After posting about leaving my last job, in the soapbox, I was out of work for around five weeks before finding my current job. This time I have learnt and want to apply the lesson - I work to live not live to work. [edit] - thank you all for your kind words and encouragement, it's really nice to have such positive messages from the great people of CodeProject :)

Congrats on both accounts. I'm also having a new job since almost a month back. Totally new environment, not very hard but it's just so much to learn.

OK, so a birthday equates to: "I'm getting OLD!", and a new job equates to "I wasn't good enough at my last job!", so could you spend a moment to clarify what exactly it is we're supposed to be celebrating?

Nope, sorry but it means my last job wasn't good enough for me.

The first wiords that come to mind are: "Been there, done that". Good luck with the new people.

"I wasn't good enough at my last job!" - far from it, new management made decisions that necessitated me working evenings, weekends and holidays because they simply were unable to listen to any advice I gave.

I have similar experience. At my new job I have a boss that's better than me at what I'm doing, a very unusual situation for me. And quite scary to be honest.

Yes, going from being the expert to being the new guy who knows nothing is quite scary at times. Good luck with your new job :)
