The first day

pluralFirst day on the new job
I was unfortunately unable to get any sleep last night
so I stared at the ceiling until about 6:30am
at which point, I passed out
I got a little more than an hour of sleep
which was bad as I was supposed to be
at work at 8am
as you can imagine
I was late
oh well it was just orientation
although they highlighted my name with pink instead of green
ooooh I am curious if anything comes of it though
Orientation was
as all such things are
an incredible bore
finally got done around 3pm
went to find my office
and meet my boss
I was told to go to building 26
of course once I got there
I found out, that my boss
and my new office
were in building 10
so I walked on over
Office is nice, got a window
over looking some trees and a grassy area
most of the afternoon
was spent BS'ing with the boss
meeting the people who I will be working with
and stealing/scavenging equipment
to hold me over until the stuff they ordered arrives
all in all it went well
I think my boss and I will work well together
got a mixed vibe from my boss's boss
but he seemed rather stress so I will let it be
Left around 6pm
and walked back to my car
at which point I noticed
that I had left my headlights on
for three hours
and it was completely dead
No worries one of the things
I love about my car
is that it is very easy to push start
so push I did
no luck on the flats
but lo and behold
there was a convenient downward ramp
so I pushed my car up to it
and rolled down.
nope sorry wasn't meant to be today
no graceful way out
so I called campus security
they said they would send someone by
I returned to my vehicle
raised the hood as I was instructed
opened my book and started reading
of course
being in a parking lot
with your hood up
and everyone leaving the office
is not exactly the easiest on ones ego
as everyone glances at the sorry bastard with the piece of shit car
well
as I said before I hadn't gotten much sleep
and I awoke about an hour and a half later
feeling a little groggy
called security again
and they had apparently forgotten about me
promised to have someone right over
and about 10 minutes later
I was on my way
of course
not without filling out
a little form identifying me for posterity
as the idiot who left his lights on
well
sleep calls
good night my loves
dream pleasant dreams of all manner of debaucheries
