My First Day on the New Job

Wow. My first day, er halfday, at Broadstreet Consulting. Man, that's tough work. Floral design is way easier.
Also, since my office is in my home,when does work "quit?" I can be folding laundry, cleaning the kitchen (sure), or reading a book or something and my new boss will approach and start talking shop. Excuse me. Do I look like I'm working here? Dude. You have to wait until I'm in my leather captain's chair with my new matching desk set. Then you know I'm clocked in, then you can talk business with me. He backed off real quick, "Errr, I-I-I'll just send you an email."

I don't want to be too hard on the guy, he is the owner of the company and all. And look here, as he was discussing FTPs and FP and DUIs and all the technogeek stuff, my eyes began glazing over and I might have nodded off a little. So he ambled off and made me some coffee. Isn't that something? Back in the day, I used to have to get coffee for the codgers. Boy, the busines world has evolved. So he made me this nice cup of coffee and we didn't even bill anyone for our time and I perked up just like a little daisy in the hot sun when given a quick shower.

Unfortunately, there was a minor unforseen complication. He was unaware of my evolved coffee preferences. I now like iced raspberry mocha lattes instead of just a boring old cup of java. So I thought: this first time, I could give him a hand and mix up the beverage myself.
-
Well. The company kitchen didn't have any Hershey's chocolate. What kind of place is this?
I was desperate.
The nearest Starbucks is a 30 minute drive, that's not billable time, and who knows, it might have been one of the 600 they closed.

I lost my head. I dug into Tommy's secret stash -- a container of brownie mix he made on Monday and has been nibbling on all week. He will kill me when he finds out.
-
You know what? It was pretty good. Brownie mix in your coffee with a hint of raspberry.

Exactly what I needed to get back to work.
And please. Don't read my computer screen in the photo or I'll be fired for giving away company secrets. Don't even try it. I jumbled them up like they do on tv.

One last thing I must share:





My thanks to alert reader, Debra Thomas, for this spiffy new desk set. She understands what is important when it comes to a new job.
