Calliesmom,

Give it some time. You've only been there two weeks and I'm sure they feel as awkward as you do. It's difficult having to learn a new job on top of making friends with the people you work with.

I'll tell ya a secret. As I'm sure you ALL know, I have a very dry sense of humor and it can sometimes be taken the wrong way. Well, the owner of the funeral home told my supervisor that I disrespected him one time when he called in. When she she told me, I was shocked and told her it was highly to the contrary. I totally respected and admired him. She later explained to him that everyone's personality is different and that it was probably just my personality that he took the wrong way. We've been fine ever since.
