“Haven’t seen Sujatha in a while. I guess her new job is keeping her busy. Any idea if she likes it or not?”
“I met her a couple of days ago. Said she was yet to find her feet.”
“Find her feet! That’s a funny expression. Does it mean getting used to a new situation?”
“That’s right! Right now, she’s not very comfortable because she hasn’t understood everything she has to do in her new job. She needs more time to become familiar with it.”
“Once she becomes familiar, she’ll become more confident. How about this example? I moved to Hyderabad recently after having lived in Chennai for nearly 25 years. I’m still finding my feet.”
“In other words, you’re trying to get used to a new city. It may take you several months to find your feet.”
“I hope it doesn’t take me that long! How long did it take you to find your feet in your new job?”
