hells yes it is. day one at New Job completed and i fucking love it thus far. even training was a blast, and i picked the perfect time to start because tomorrow: casual day with free pizza!
oh frabjous day!
what’s more is, even though it was training/orientation all day, everyone is already really nice. the office — despite being a gov’t establishment — is really laid back and friendly all-around, and my time-off for when nick gets here (in 10 freaking days!) was already pre-approved and they’re totally cool with it. my new supervisor is really nice and friendly. i mean, she was way cool in the interview, and she’s been uber-helpful already. which is so nice considering all the rigamarole i went through just to finally start this job.
also, i work with this dude in the mail processing station who looks just like Fat Pat, or Finch from American Pie. he was also in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, which i just recently saw with scooter. more importantly, gravy kinda looks likeish him. tee hee! he even *sounds* like him — uh, the guy i work with, that is, not gravy. it was all i could do not to bust out into giggles all day. and, he totally hooked me up with ipod settlement information because he noticed i have a 3rd gen model. word. i’m all about free shit. free shit from apple? even fucking better!
so, already i’m stoked that people i work the closest with are not irritating and annoying fucks — at least, not yet anyway. and fatpat (god, it’s gonna be so hard not to call him that) is all about me taking breaks or leaving or *not* working. because we have scheduled breaks every day so we don’t get stressed — omg they actually encourage we take off “mental health days” — and i was still working and he’s all ‘dude, mess around or something. take your break & have a little fun!’ heh. he could very well be on his way to being my first office crush in a freaking forever. my first one being on Charlie the Photography Guy way back when at the ag journal. of course, charlie was like 76 and totally a grandpa — and this sounds way dirtier than i intended — but he was totally hilarious, uber-sweet to everyone, and when the digital cameral purchas totally ousted him from his job he went back to college and became a freaking teacher. at 76. i shit you not. ok, so maybe ol’ charlie wasn’t so much of a crush really, more like really funny old dude/hero figure, or inspiration or some shit. he gave me lollipops, too. i don’t think i’ll ever consider fake fat pat an inspiration at much else than gettin’ free shit from apple, but if he gives me a lollipop i probably wouldn’t turn it down (lollies are a pale comparison to popsicles, but awesome nonetheless. unless they’re tootsie pops, that shit is gross). and, well…the last office crush-ish thing i had…yeah, not even anything remotely close to that. so there!
i’m just so freaking amused and totally high off of the iced coffee i bought on my way to job #2! that, and the fact that i worked 10-4:30 today and was totally paid for 8 hours worth of work. weeee!
