Week Two @ Dagobert

Things definitely stepped up a notch last week, and by the end of the week I was loving it. I say I love a challenge on an almost daily basis, but found I do tend to spend far too much time flapping about worrying about a deadline rather than focusing on getting it done from the off. I think this initial panic has been accentuated out here because of the language barrier, and the added pressure of not being able to ask for help if I need it.

The bottom line is, Dagobert have a lot of graduates, and they seem to know exactly what they're doing in terms of exposing 'newbies' to the right amount of work at the right time. My first few days, I was given a few little tasks but nothing too scary, then things got gradually more complicated, and hopefully things will carry on the same way. Obviously it depends on the amount of work they have on, but it has felt like a nice curved increase in both responsibility and difficulty of task. Today marks two weeks since my first day, but it feels like I've been here 2 months. It's a fast paced industry so I imagine this is natural - but I am loving every minute so far.
