A new hire isn't a surprise visitor from out of town. Plan for their arrival.

You hear it with really fresh ears. Alternate tunings, for me, they give that back.

I love it when characters surprise you, just like real people. When I write a scene I just try to make the characters behave in a way that feels natural to them. Sometimes that means they make a left turn and do something unexpected. Those are always the best scenes in my opinion.
