My First Day at Work

Daniel arrived early for his first day at work, but the building felt bigger than he expected. He had a notebook, a pen, and the name of the meeting room on his phone.

At first, he followed a sign to the second floor. Then he saw two glass doors with similar names: Meeting Room A and Meeting Room B. He walked through the wrong door and found a quiet storage room with boxes and old chairs.

Daniel felt embarrassed, but he did not hide. He went back to reception and asked politely, “Could you show me where Meeting Room B is?” The receptionist pointed to a small sign near the lift and explained that the room was behind the blue wall.

When Daniel entered the meeting room, two colleagues were already there. They smiled because they had also got lost on their first day. Daniel sat down, opened his notebook, and felt less nervous.

At lunch, Daniel thanked the receptionist again. Next time he needed directions, he knew whom to ask.
