first days are always difficult. there's no getting around it. no matter where you are, what industry you're in, there will always be new ways of doing things, procedures you're unfamiliar with, and new people to navigate. but if it was all gravy from the get-go, then it wouldn't be rewarding at all. you'd learn nothing. the monotony and brainless-ness would eat you alive throughout your tenure, and you'd be looking for ways out immediately. you don't want that.
with all that in mind, take a step back and review: where do you need the most help, how can you prepare for each new challenge (even if they seem to spring up at random), and most of all what steps can you take to ensure your progress.
i would be worried if there was no challenge. but i know you, your tenacity, your desire to excel, and your resilience. it's a little overwhelming now, but you'll progress ten-fold before you know it.
the best advice i can give for today is best sung by Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions, in one of my all-time favorite songs...
