a “first day at my desk for new job” recap

  • realized upon arrival at work that I’d forgotten my badge despite deliberately placing it where I’d remember it the night before 
  • get to where my cube is supposed to be. figure out it is no longer my cube.  ask a stranger-coworker what to do. proceed to sit in someone else’s cube. 
  • email my manager asking what I’m supposed to be working on. no response.
  • read over all of the hr site. realize I know all this stuff because I’m not actually a new employee. 
  • eat the banana I brought for breakfast and the banana I brought for an afternoon snack. all before 9am. 
  • pick the remaining pieces of glitter from last week’s manicure off my nails.
  • gchat. 
  • look at dresses on anthro’s website for all the summer weddings. fall in love with this one. have Jordan tell me that he doesn’t know if it’s cute to have shellfish on your dress.
  • pout. 
  • climb all the stairs in the building in an attempt to kill time. wish I’d picked flats this morning. 
  • go to bathroom. stare at pores.
  • return to desk. count down minutes until lunch. watch clock slowly tick by. 
  • eat lunch alone in my car while reading tumblr on my phone.
  • repeat for four more hours.
