Work

Today was my first day working in London. Couple quick observations, the work culture is much less PC and much, much more open and social. Swear words are part of the normal vocabulary, and off-the-cuff conversations with colleagues can vary from professional conversations regarding work, to whores who give blow jobs in bathroom stalls at clubs.

Honestly, I embrace and love the openness of this work culture. People generally seem happier and the office as a whole seems much more lively. Don't get me wrong, people are very professional when it comes down to getting work done and communicating with clients, but they realize that there isn't a need to be strict and uptight the entire work day. I feel as though this enhances the work environment for everyone, as people are free to relax and be themselves. I'm excited to jump in and begin working on all sorts of projects and getting to know my colleagues better. It will definitely be a new experience, one with challenges of course, but I feel that is something I need at this point.

As I begin to get more involved with work, clients, and the overall culture, I look forward to see how I will grow and learn from it all. It will be interesting to see what adjustments I will have to make, and how I will adapt to the situations thrown at me. It will, undoubtedly, be quite an adventure!
