First Day Fun And Games
Well, Monday was my first day in the new job, and it all went rather well
So far there have been:
1. A complete lack of 'colourful' characters trying too hard to impress or befriend me
2. Zero disapproving looks as I accidentally used the wrong coffee mug
3. No cringe-worthy, embarrassing foot-in-mouth moments when I call someone a clueless fuck only to discover she's 1.Standing behind me, and 2.My new boss
4. No clueless fucks at all! (So far, I've not met them all yet...)
Which is all rather rubbish for witty anecdotes, but very good for an easy life. Especially when the whole house has a stinky cold and is waist deep in used tissues, and the sweet dear little baby makes the sound you would expect to hear should you put the business end of a vacuum cleaner into a large lime jelly whilst operating a chainsaw. How one so small can have sinuses so large and reverberating is quite a wonder . (Thankfully I never snore, or poor Antonia would get no sleep at all.)
At the end of the first day, two of the chaps who sit near to me invited me to join them for a beer after work; Declan who is Irish and David who is Scottish, so I even had a 'An Englishman, and Irishman and a Scotman walked into a pub...' moment, which has to be a good thing.
And best of all, there is no school uniform! So today I dressed like this:

Okay, where is this place? I want to apply for a job there. looks like a place with a good sense of humor.
Of course, you've overlooked that they might be looking on you as the office cluelessfuck. And the outfit might just seal the deal. But you've got major brass ones for being the newbie with the interesting outfit.
I'm glad you don't snore too. Or fart. It's amazing.
You see, there just aren't enough lederhosen in the modern workplace. I've come here via your wife, who I was informed of through a delightful post by Fussy. I've decided to leave a comment here, because I think your wife may think I'm stalking her due to the number of comments I left there yesterday. But really, I'm just a pathetic breeder who so vehemently voiced her dislike of NYE all her friends have abandoned her (and are not returning calls or texts today as extra penalty) to leave me to ring in the New Year with my mother and brother. Yep. Quite a life I know.
