MY FIRST DAY

Today was my first day in the Fleet Department. I knew it was all going to go wrong when it took me ten minutes to lock my front door.

Anyway, I turned up on time and went to find my boss. He was late and I ended up waiting about half an hour for him. He then made me about as welcome as a pineapple up the arse and showed me to my desk. There, to my uncontainable delight, I found a telephone that had no connection and no known extension number, a pile of bits consisting of a party streamer, half a dozen paperclips, some random business cards, a couple of pens and a peseta, and a computer for which nobody knew my login details and which had no mouse.

Being supposed to shadow my boss for the entire day, it became a tad inconvenient when he disappeared off the face of the planet for the entire duration of the afternoon. So, after a few hours of fighting to keep my eyes open, I left for home, but not before a brief trip to Ikea.

The item I required was out of stock and the queue for the checkout took at least twenty minutes. Then a kid directly behind me starting screaming the building down. I was just about to boil over when I spied a three year old Asian toddler try to grab hold of Mark R’s tackle, and then my day didn’t seem so bad…..
