Before i start boring my fellow readers with a bunch of endless, go nowhere stroies...i'd like to take this moment to say thank you. Thank you all for caring. I appreciate all the calls asking how my first and 2nd day of work was. In fairness to all of you- and in true Mike Cat fashion, i didnt bother to give you guys a call back. Truthfully, the reason i didnt call anyone back is b/c im a deushbag. A huge heeping, steaming pile of Deush. I know you prpbably were expecting a line of excuses but- i'm not about to play that game. I was a deek. i know that its not the right thing to do and i do appologize, however if i had called you back you might have gotten a sort of tainted view of what the job is. You see it's kind of impossible to get a sense of what an occupation is going to be like after only 1 day. Thats like asking a newly wed- hows he gonna like married life. You just don't know till you've been down that road. Let's face it- it's a whole new life that i just stepped into and thier is no way on that anyone can deny it. SO with that in mind...here is todays entry.
As my bald head hit the pillow on "Columbus day" evening i knew it was going to be a long night. For the first time in a long time i had something to look forward to. I did wind up going to sleep but it was one of those nights where you wake up every hour and look at the clock for 10 minutes. Eventually i just got up, shut off my alarm about 1/2 hr before it was supposed to go off and i went down stairs and had some cereal. After reading the back of the honey nut cheerios box over 15 times, i finished my cereal and headed back upstairs. I put on my white collared shirt and my hagger slacks, and checkered tie. I wasn't nervous. I picked up my soft brief case, put on my glasses and right before i walked out the door i said goodbye to the old me.
I was excited about being a white collar man. Unfortunately God wasn't. The rain was nonstop like tears from a recently dumped fat chick. Once the door shut and the seat belt clicked it was clear that there was no turning back. Little po'd that my XM radio reception sux on rainy days..its almost non existant. But I powered my way through the rain and traffic with FM radio although, the traffic going there wasn't bad at all. I actally sat in the parking lot for almost an hr, reading the daily news and eating a chewy bar until 9:40 then i walked in....Business was about to pick up.
As soon as i walked in, i checked in with security and he pointed out that my name was on the plasma TV. It appears that all new employees have their names written on the TV.. it was cool at first but no1 really looks at it besides the new-bees. During orientation, it was a lot of paper work..they went over benefits and such- and treated us to breakfast. We had to watch a painfully boring videoand then I was finally introduced to my co-workers and my cubicle!
My manager is sweet as sugar, maybe even sweeter..i dunno. Her name is michelle which isnt too hard to remember cuz at saf-t-swim my manager was also michelle...wierd...anyway She's been great, she's taught me everything i need to know and never gets mad. i also work with a chick names lekesha. I'll let u figure out her ethnicity. She's also nice and she showed me around and introduced me to a few peeps. Everyone there seems to be nice, i have this bitchy supervisor though..shes so bitchy. I'm talking the queen B, but at the same time...im in love with her. She isn't amazingly hot but the bitchyness and the fact that shes like a supervisor just adds bonus degrees of hotness. Shes the tanning salon type with the dark brown hair..i dont speak mucho Espanol but this senorita is freakin' fuerte. It just sux that shes my supervisor cuz i dont wanna get bitched at.
The work itself isn't very exciting its a lof of flippin back and forth between sheets and stuff. I guess i should tell you what it is that i do. I am single handedly or atleast for the most part in charge of sending orders to Target and Circuit City. I handle all of their accounts. I see how much stock we have in our warehouses and see how many units we are allocated and allowed to ship out. I cancel orders if they need to be canceled and more- i just dont know what else. It's a little dull but their is always something to do. In fact, i havent taken a lunch break yet..i eat while sititng at my computer and learning new shit.I have tried my best to pick up everything and what i havent learned, i try and pick up on my own. Thats really all i can say about my job so far. I dont know enough about it yet. Ask me in person if u have any questions- dont call i'll prob still be a dirt bag.
I have my name on the cubicle already and i just got my own phone line today. My computer is password protected (like 40 different passwords..its insane). Needless tosay i'm actually diggin it. I've already started to decorate my office. It's not a small cube either- its pretty big. I got some yankee shit and some Jets shit thumb tacked to the walls and pretty soon i'm gonna post some pictures. I need some good ones though- so if you have any good friend shots- please send em my way. i plan on going shopping this weekend for some cool stuff for the office, any ideas?
I woke up with such a pain in my neck again..this time i think i may have tweeked somehting while working out yesterday, but i'm not gonna tell my parents that. I put some bengay on it early this morning but had to wash it off before work. Now i have it on again..I sound like i'm 85, don't i? Please excuse me while i put on my favorite muder mystery program, matlock, and go to sleep in my Craft-madic Adjustable bed. Im really gonna go to bed- ill see u all tomorrow!!!
