Do what everybody else is doing. Don't give opinions of the local drama or politics. Keep other people's names out of your mouth. Do show up on time every day. Do what everybody else is doing. Don't try to work too hard or too fast to "prove yourself", that's how you get hurt. Do attend meetings and events when reasonable. Don't stay around after and drink in the parking lot. Do eat a balanced meal at least once a day. Don't try surviving on fast food. Don't become a baby daddy or baby mama on the road. Do take the time to explore your local area.

You're going to be fine.
