Nervous to start new position
I am starting a slightly different position in the same company but I'm really getting nervous. I will be keeping all of the same job duties except now I will be taking on the position of a woman retiring in our office. She was responsible for doing all of the finances and expenses for our office. She was an awful teacher and even though I shadowered with her for a few days I still feel lost. She talks in circles and loses everything that she's trying to show me. Everytime I ask a question she says we'll get to it but then she never really addresses my question. Also, when I had to return back to my other office to try and finish up my own work she got upset that I wasn't devoting enough time to learning with her...yet she spent 40 minutes giving me my new desk and office keys and talking to other office workers about her retirement plans. I'm really nervous to start my new position next week...I'm sure it will be fine once I get in and see the work I will be doing, I just want to do a good job and make it an easy transition of her leaving and me starting. Grr...It makes me so angry that she was an awful teacher and was clearly more concerned about getting her own loose ends tied up before she left for retirement than she was about making sure I felt comfortable and was comfortable with what she was teaching me.
