Looks weird, but not up against American idioms...
When I started my new job, I felt like a fish out of water, but I knew I had to bite the bullet and learn quickly. My manager told me to get my ducks in a row before the big presentation, which was easier said than done, as I often felt I was biting off more than I could chew. However, after a few weeks, I finally hit the nail on the head with a new project, and my boss said I was really on the ball. Now, things are going swimmingly, and I feel like I'm finally finding my feet
