How was it? What did you like best about your first week? What did you like least?

Thinking back on my first week at SHM I am amazed of all the responsibilities I have already been given and what I have already learned.  From simple things, like using a letter opener, to more complex things, like the ins and outs of different computer programs, this week has been one giant crash course in SHM.  If I had to think of one word to describe this week it would defiantly be overwhelming.  With so many different things going on I got very nervous that I am going to do something wrong.  I guess that would have to be what I have liked the least about this week, the feeling that I will mess up.

Even though I have not been at SHM long, I had already gotten a feel for how people treat each other.  At a lot of companies these interactions might be over looked, but at SHM taking care of your co-workers is instilled into their core values.  This is what I have liked best about my first week.  Everyone has gone out of their way to introduce themselves, help me, and make me feel like a valuable part of the company.  As I progress into my six months here, the mutual respect throughout the office is something that I will never stop appreciating.
