Default First day of work

So after 4 months of looking I finally got my first honest-to-god underling position and tomorrow is my first day...

This is scary, should I be a bit scared? h:

Before photo shoots, I get a little nervous. I think butterflies in the stomach are the soul going over a checklist in our subconscious.

Thats cool, how do you like it?

I'm going to be working with S7 PLC's and this system seems pretty intense. I've had some ladder training and am pretty good with coding so I was hoping that would help, but even the guys I interviewed with said it's pretty much edge of your seat learning
