Things that you really don't want to hear the first day on a new job

"here's your desk, your chair arrives next week"
"ummm.... 'dress code' means that everyone has to wear a dress"
"i hope you brought your own hip boots"
"its tuesday, or as we like to call it .... naked day"
"did we actually hire you? "
"new guy is here - everybody line up for.... [unintelligible]..."
"well look who got dressed in the dark for his first day of work"
"you're fired"
"over here is where we keep the happy meal boxes... "

LOL, Grover!
You're funny.

I think the first one was my most favorite.



Oh, please give us more of your fuzzy thoughts/things in list-form. We need more, more, more!

Love,
Mary
which rhymes with Herry (Monster).
Heh

Dear Mary,

I enjoyed your post. However, your picture is a bit odd. You look like a big ol' eye. Is it hard to find clothes that fit?

Also, do you know Herry Monster? Have you ever had him over for tea? If so, have you noticed the odd smell when he takes his shoes off? I try to encourage him to keep his shoes on. I never enjoy it when he insists upon removing them and sucking on his toes during dinner. One Herry Monster toenail in your Spaghetti & Meatballs can ruin that dish for life.

Anyway, I will be sure to add some more lists soon, as the throngs of fans clamoring for this has grown out of control.

I once spent a couple of weeks in basement boardroom awaiting an office, a desk and the chair.

I was known as the 'new person' in the basement.

I also had nothing to do. Its was very boring - i read a very large technical manual. However i survived.
