Noticed at my New Job Today - NSV

Hello All! 

Today was my first day at my new job and, I was noticed a few times.  Corporate was there, I mean BIG Corporate of All the Restaurants.  Anyhow, They do this cheerleading before training to get everyone pumped. It was contagious for sure!!

Well,  Today I was sitting in the front because I like not to be distracted.  When I was being trained on the computer by the manager, after he stepped aside, We all took turns to practice.
I love to help people and what I did was play a game out of it, broke it down to show others
how to use the computer, as I  boosted and applaud them (it also helps me learn too).  I just do this because it is me.  Well afterwards my manager said thank you and that he has his eye on
me to become a lead trainer...   Saaaaaaaaaaay What????  me?  WOW  I felt happy, excited,
shocked, and hopeful.

they were doing skits,  presentations and to sum it up, the cheerleading started to diminish
later during the day.  when it was time to clap there was silent,,,,,,  of Coarse I am still clapping
and me just being me..... and not trying.....  I was interacting with my peers and was able to get them to participate again by clapping, cheering etc etc and corporate noticed. I was motivating my peers and didnt realize I was doing it.

Also by the end of the day people stopped taking notes ...well there was a few of us...  I was in the front at this time standing with the corporate peeps....  Well they went out of their way thanking us who was still taking notes....  I was included in the small bunch.

Also they used me or called my name at least 7 or 8 times today...  I felt good.
Also I participated in answering questions..etc  I felt good.

There was a manager  from another store who has been employeed for 23 years...  Anyhow, she approaced me towards the end and said.... "two people stood out today and you are one of them!" She also said, " you are going to do very well with this company!"
WOOOOOOOOOOOW  I felt shocked, honored, grateful, excited,  and just knew that 7 months ago this could not be possible.  I could barely walk or stand for 2 hours without limping. resulting to bed or sitting, it was awful at the time.  Not today...I can be on my feet for 9 or 10 hours and still feel no pain....  What a blessing!

My Store manager also made a point to say How I have been helping others to other important
people, Corporate Trainers, managers, Corporate etc,,,,  I felt honored and excited,.

Is this really happening to me?   you betcha it is....  and that little itty bitty ****ty committee in my head that beat me up for so long totally wants to look for the negative because that is all i have been use to doing.  But NOT TODAY.... TODAY  I accept all this and embrace it.  I pat myself on the back, i give myself positive affirmations,  I thank GOD for the gifts and prayers answered, I have landed to become a happy person today and its only going to get better.....   but I have to remember to be humble and kind to others....   ego and aggressiveness can totally be a turn off to someone, and   I dont want to be that ...I want to be happy, joyous and free from that bondage of negative self I have carried for years slowly committing suicide with food.  Today i dont have to live that way...  and either do you.

So I can say DAY 1 with my new job was AWESOME!
All we have is today and tomorrow when I wake up...  I am going to live Today the best
to my ability with people, places and things, and of coarse GOD through prayer and meditation!
I talk to GOD through out the day...lol   its my relationship with him... really....

Also, one fear....  tomorrow we taste food....   I will have to be selective in what I eat.
I dont do recreational sugar so i cannot taste the desserts....  I gave up recreational sugar
because i get hives very bad and it makes me sick.  I had no clue for years sugar did this to me...Thank GOD for the sleeve because not eating stuff like this I realize I am healed from the suffering of hives.  that is also a blessing.

Huuuugs to you all... and thanks for reading my post and my update with my new job!

 So often the first day at a new job is one of the most difficult. I am so glad it was not that way for you. It is clear that you are feeling every bit as confident as you should. Awesome results from a lot of hard work. 

Go Doc go!!!!!!!!! Your body will now help you live out your dreams instead of hindering you! 

Your post brought tears to my eyes honey, I am so proud of you and happy for you!!  Go get em' tiger!!  or ***** cat as the case may be... 

Way to go Dr. Here's to the first of many successful days in your new career. Before you know it you'll be regional manager with store managers reporting to you. Or VP of Corporate Training perhaps? You decide, its all up to you. You can do it with God's help.
