if it helps any, i know that when i've always started a new job, i've always looked up to the person i replaced. they not only 'showed me the ropes' but also reminded me that i have a chance to move on as well. and that in a few years, i'll be them, training the 'future me' (what a lovely job, eh?). i've always been in awe of that person, since s/he was moving on, moving up and moving out! plus, s/he always knew so much! how is that?
perhaps you could wear your sunglasses all day long, just to lighten them up a bit? it is rather challenging trying to figure out the personality (s) of others (especially those who are superior or seem to be) in just a few short days. maybe you could try to joke with them, to help your anxiety and theirs as well?
and don't forget, vermont is always an option too :)
