...a lifetime to go! (le sigh)
Today was my first day in the office at my new job...erm...career (he added wistfully). The morning was spend being led around the cube farm introduced to a dozen or so people all of who's names I forgot by lunch time. 
There was also a pile of forms to be filled out...name, address, phone, repeat ad nauseum, ad infinitum. Additionally, there was a troublingly frequent request for my Next-of-Kin information. Perhaps there's an unusually high death rate among Customer Service Operations persons at this firm. Maybe particularly dirty paper slicing through flesh and infecting the victim, leading to complications that even Dr. House couldn't get ahead of?
How was YOUR day?
One down...

ok
so, you have a glass right?
whether it's half-full, or half empty is besides the point. . .
you'll get to remember those names, heck you might even make a friend! the forms will be filled and you'll move on to more interesting stuff. . .
the pay-check will arrive in your bank account. . .
if/when you get so fed-up that you want to leave, it's always easier to find a new job if you actually have a current one. . .
she might not turn out to be the LOYL, but the's the second girl in a year to show interest
IT'S NOT ALL BAD!!!
(do you want me to send you some stuff to decorate that cube?!?!?!?)
hang in there buddy
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ohhhhhhhhh.....I'm excited for you!!
Yeah,yeah..next of kin, fill out the forms stuff and all that--all first week 'stuff' that comes with being employed! Woooohooooooo!!
And I definitely think cool things to decorate the cubey office!
A bitty stuffed llaman, even! :-)
Just sayin'.....
Welcome to day two!
(at least you had a day one--half the state didn't bother showing up for work with the silly snow we got...6 inches....sheeeeesh.....c'mon already--SIX inches!) :-/
I DID sound a bit whingy, didn't I. I didn't mean to, really. I'm incredibly grateful to HAVE a job (and the one I actually wanted at that, be careful what you wish for).
A tiny llama would be very smile inducing.
When I do get fed up enough to leave, would one of you be kind enough to remind me that I'm lucky to have a job and a paycheck and that NOT having a job wasn't all that great?
