If it's your first six months, then you're fine
Don't be scared homie. Focus on networking. Learning what folks are working on. Ask if they need help. Just get into the mix of things, speak up. Make a good first impression.
I thought you were safe after a year but I was laid off in a year. So like no ones safe. 🙄
You're reasonably safe new on the job when it comes to chargeability. After a year its anyone's guess, and probably unrelated (or less) to chargeability
What kind of work do you do? What staff level are you?
Yea I wouldn't worry too much about it when your brand new. Take time to try and network as well as learning to ropes at the firm (including how various internal processes and stuff work - it is easier to figure that stuff out now than when in the middle of a project).
There are things you can and cannot control. Focus on what you can control - make yourself visible, be known as a proactive person who wants to be productive and is willing to learn and take on challenges, participate in firm events, and grow your network, both in and out of your core area. Stay positive - it's contagious and people will remember you for it.
2 weeks is no time at all. Take a breath
Enjoy the time on the bench and do all of the required training and make a point to go in to the office and network with people. Once you're on a project you will not have time to do any of it.

2 weeks?! Chillax...
Seriously? Chill ... you will miss this time when it's all gone. I could do anything for 2-3 weeks on the bench
