Work

dayone

It's the last day of February, it's Monday, it's been raining,
cold, stressful, lonely, miserable.

But work was good. Or it's good to work. Or it's a nice change of pace.

Monday morning

I learn a little about the office, and remember a name or two.

I'm really 'sposed to start tomorrow, on the 1st,
but I volunteered to put in a full week. Right off the bat, I'm a giver!

Since I'm a day early, the paperwork is still en route from CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS,
so I can't fill anything out, and no one seems to know what to do with me.
I'm mainly just chatting with people, grinning and hoping my sweat
doesn't stink like my greasy freeto-'n-bean skittles-pie diet.
(you try and eat healthy in-between addresses in a new 'burg, bub!)

It's good. the office is nice, the people are happy and busy,
the neighborhood is fantastic (beachtown living is good living),
and the workload looks like a good balance of mindless tedium
and interesting, exciting stuff. And the dress code is relaxed!

This particular Monday is also Brandi's (Brenda? Bree-Ann?) birthday, so we get CAKE!

And everyone slacks off for the afternoon, some people take a half-day and split,
I just ate cake and practiced my 31eet SKILLZ on a helpless month-out of date [secret product*],
it didn't stand a chance against my onslaught of text corrections and formatting beserker flurries! They seldom do.

* I've signed an agreement I mustn't speak of.

DAYTWO

Ok, now it's time to get down to business! *W*O*R*K* work work work. Tote that bale and carve out the holes in the swiss cheese, it's worktime!
hit it! work!
go!

...did I mention Monday, I met a cute little puppy, who peed on the floor?
in the office? no?

OK, well that happened. Today, It was more puppy (no peeing today! GOOD PUPPY!),
and some youngsters. And left over cake!

And paperwork, and some actual demands on me! today I did what I was spozd to,
Plus some emergency extra work, since a lot of the staff were distracted
by all the puppies and children.

And I handled it! yay! this working thing might be OK after all.
