I finally have a routine down. The job doesn't seem as overwhelming, foreign or scary anymore. At moments it can actually be amusing as long as it's not taken too seriously.. Twirling around in my office chair and chatting with co-workers that pass by to sit on the edge of my desk. That shot of my desk was taken at 8 A.M. Most people's desks are covered with posters, calenders, photographs and knicknacks. as you can see....Mine is still pretty bare. I'll get on that...eventually.

But that's my average work day at "Initech Corporation" in a nutshell. Week 2 is coming to an end and my very first paycheck just arrived in the mail. Too bad it will take an additional 5 days to actually clear at the bank.
