the new job

the first day
of any new
job is important.
it's in your
best interest
to dress nicely.
dark suit, white
shirt and a not
too flamboyant
tie. you can't
take too many
coffee breaks,
or talk it up
too much at
the water cooler.
it's best to
tone down your
interest in the
receptionist
and her friend
buffy who works
in accounting.
it's better that
you don't ask
about happy hour,
or the christmas
party and bonuses,
or when the
company picnic is,
yes. the first day
you actually have
to do some work.
be a part of the
team, earn your
keep and prove
your worth, do alot
of firm handshaking
and smiling, but
on the second day,
all bets are off.
