and the mature (over 40) lady who I share an office with is completely ignoring me!
She's acting like I am not there.
So far the only person talking to me is my line manager - hes okay.
Gosh I feel so out of place. Have you ever felt like this?
Im 27.

A broken lamp, 2 small cardboard boxes with odds and ends up in them. An empty cup. An empty beaker. My cellular telephone. A lamp that works. A stack of notepads. a collection of headphones. A pencil. An empty bun casing. some cds. A bottle of water to spray a plant which died months in the past. Wow, i'm an entire slob!

Yes, felt like that every time I was in a new work, a place and even in the companies of my colleagues. That's entirely normal because as a new arrival you still need to feel the culture around. That lady or any other employee, old and young, does not have to mind or welcome you. It's you who is expected to get along with them. It's the price you have to pay for being a new worker. Feel around, get to know the culture before you start feeling uncomfortable. Don't bother yourself thinking about what the old lady is thinking about you because, for all you know, she's too busy thinking what you're thinking about her.

Give it a day or two and you'll have sniffed out your pals!! It is always scary starting a new job (best not spend too much time to Y/A today!!), but keep your chin up. You were employed for a reason and I'm sure that is because you are brilliant!!! By the way, try chatting with mature lady; I bet she's nice!

It's always like that in a new job. She is probably knackered after a heavy weekend and now has to deal with a younger, prettier girl in the office. Ask her would she like anything when you are going out for your lunch. That can be a good ice breaker without coming on too strong. Relax. You'll be fine, and good luck with the new job.

oh my god girl i'm having the same problem at my work!!! i just got a new job and there is this group of ugly b*itches who i'm nice to and come in every day and they completely ignore me. the manager was really nice to me though and moved me up quickly in my position...so the girl's started saying crap about me behind my back. It totally hurt my feelings and made me feel weird, but i've come to the point where i don't care anymore. i still do feel out of place around them but i deal with it. some people are just bitter, and the fact that you're young and new at work makes it all the worse. that's what happened to me, just don't take them to heart!

the lady you share an office with probably is intimidated by the fact youre 27 & will most likely pass her career-wise. dont feel out of place.

Poor you its early days yet and you'll soon get to know people. Just don't spend too much time on here or they might not like it especially on the first day. Good luck with your new job hope your day goes well.

It happens,but dont let it get to you.Maybe she,s a little jealous cos you is younger.Its only eight hours a day for work so just concentrate on your job,she,ll come around in the end and if she dont then dont worry about it.

I think (of course, I believe) she would be your best friend in the coming days. It's a psychology, those people appear to be rigid are really not.
Do you want to make her talk to you? Or at least to be ease with you?
Then, your body language (not you) should speak to her that 'I am not an unreliable person'.
If you don't want her to talk, then you act as she does.
