I survived it:D:D
No flies
&
The aircon was a bit too cold:D

everyone drinks way too much coffee
Training schedule says week 1 to observe only argh couldn't do that.
next two days is Breakfasts at the Casino for Xmas Provided by Suppliers woohoo..hard to take:D:D
Spent half the day in the Office where they have women in short skirts and I was good I didn't ogle or wolf whistle once...7 yrs of working on dirty, man only house sites has had its social effect;)

The only negative is I start at 8am and finish at 5pm which is soo different from my start when I like and finish when I can afford too
Well see if I survive day 2

Alot of my working time is spent doing building and maintenace at a university. Interesting watching the fashions. 3 years ago, really short tight shorts, last year mini skirts, this year it is really low cut tops. No building workers in shorts with bum cracks. Life is good.

DD: go with the flow and try and not laugh too much...

the corporate types take themselves very seriously:D

and try and at least show an interest in the training, the company has probably spent lotsa big bucks, acquiring some questionable new idea from some 'has-been' US wheeler...

get ready for the 'icebreakers', 'circuitbreakers', 'task-games' and other pointless obsolete corporate guff:D:D:D

everyone drinks way too much coffee

I've been working in an office for the last 5 months (shoot me now) and one thing I have noticed is that some people appear to only come to work for the tea and coffee.

Now Graham, there's a lot of positive energy in the room, feel that energy - let's harness it and use it.

Shorty, Dawg is your friend, you trust him, and he will trust you - now let go and he will catch you.

Everyone else - look for a fork to stab yourself in the neck with - its more productive and makes more sense:D:D

Make sure you walk around with a manila folder under your arm, and an "I can't talk right now I'm too busy" look on your face.....the Penski file....:)

People will leave you alone!!!!

You need a Dawg cam set up following you around, so we can all see the exact moment that the blood vessles pop in the top of your neck, your hands form fists and everyone inbetween you and the Defender get decked.

Having mates who work for themselves I envy them and the time they have to themselves.

I'll go 4 months 5 days

Ahh yes, the office coffee!
I think most of us cubicle dwellers drink far too much coffee, I know I do!
I did try to wean myself slowly a while back from double espresso down through mocha chocka latte ;) but alas, back to espresso within days:D

Good luck with day two!:)

mocha chocka latte

I like them, I drink them but I'm embarassed to buy them. It just sounds like a Kharma Sutra move preferred by Sydney's East suburnians.

Last time I bought one from the expresso bar down the road from work this was the convo between the shop owner and a bloke in front of me

I have changed the names

Cecil: Hi Frank

Frank: Hiiiiiiiii

Cecil: Could I have a Mocha Chocka Latte please precious

Frank: Surrrrrre pettle, I love your hair

Cecil: Yesss, I got it cut and an SBC last week...............

Frank: Did Bruce do you?

Cecil: Yes, he's such a bitch, he pulled me off just a bit to quick, I've been red all week.

Frank: Yes I get his partner Marice to wax me, he's just so tender with his spactular.

At this point I decided to get a Cappacino instead (cause Cecil's throth is just the best)

Go http://www.bull****bingo.net/cards/bull****/ and download a sheet for meetings.

Swear filter works too well, you'll have to replace the **** with another word for faeces

People will leave you alone!!!!

And if you leave, you can say "you are aware that Penski is interested in me"
