So if it the opposite...you get a feeling of dread the big OH NO NOT HE OR SHE PLEASE GOD NO then will it only get better, it won't be as bad as it seems? it can only go up from the subbasement?

Serious answer: I'm always the optimist, "This is going to be great. I'm glad we get to work together on this interesting project.*" You have to learn to manage their habits and quirks. Not much you can do about their personality disorders.
*Even though you are a assjack that treats me like shit, can't manage a project, doesn't understand a thing about technology, much less the general logistics and process of discovery, and will complain to my boss and director if I don't reply to your inane e-mail sent at 2:00 am.
