Obviously now that I have a REAL GROWN UP JOB, I can’t be blogging about it, lest I get myself Dooced. I will give you little bits of what I saw and heard today, though.
I gave myself an hour for the dreaded 285 commute. I got there in 25 minutes.
I forgot how many withholding to put on my w-4. Then I remembered. 2. I hate filling out tax forms.
I heard this tantalizing snippet of conversation:
woman: I was a swinger!
man: really?
I saw a woman wearing BURMUDA SHORTS! Vindication!
I saw a guy I knew from school.
I share an office with a good view - yay!
I didn’t get the desk - instead I work on a long folding table - meh.
There is a nice cafeteria, so I may treat myself every now and then.
Everyone is nice! And I have been assured that today was a fluke - I will not have much down time from now on. We shall see - on to day 2!
So far, so good! Hooray!
Nice. City shorts rock (though I can’t seem to find a pair that work for my hips). Hope the rest of your experience continues to be refreshing.
Um, I have two pairs of “city shorts”- love them! Nicole- check out the ones at Express- I am a hippy girl too and they fit great!
Cheers! I am so excited for you!
I don’t care what she was wearing. NO SHORTS!!!
It will only lead to anarchy and the end of the world.
Congrats on the new job! Welcome to the wonderful world of grownups!
Hooray! New jobs rule! Paychecks rule too!
woo hoo! Good luck and YES on the bermuda shorts vindication! Victory is sweet, yes?
See, I TOLD YOU SO about the shorts. (Yes, I am currently wearing pants that Gap sold in the Gap Body section at work, so what?)
Dress codes be damned, we would all be happier if we were comfy all day.
