Working is Overrated

So...today was the first day in the rest of my life. Yep, I again entered into the work force...and I must say it was boring as hell. The first day consisted of hours of HR stuff...stuff which I could have done in a matter of an hour. But, I had to go through the motions of sitting there and acting like I had no idea what they were talking about, despite my prior three years in HR and 2 years interning for the federal government. Oh well...I guess it comes along with the territory of new employment. I, of all people, should know that.

There were some highlights of the day:

1. When I finally was let go by HR, I went to my office to discover that they had already changed out all the name plates and put my name on the door outside and on my desk. That was cool.
2. I actually went through a mini-swearing in procedure.

The most memorable part of the day, however, was when walking to lunch with the 2 other people that started today. As we were about to cross the street, one of the girls somehow missed the curb and fell. And, it wasn't just your ordinary fall....it was like the worst fall in the world...in the middle of an extremely busy intersection. It was so bad that she had to sit on the ground for a second and recoup. Now...of course, I helped her up and made sure that she was OK...but from that point on, I walked in front of the 2 ladies b/c I didn't want them to see that I was laughing uncontrollably. That shit was the funniest thing that I have seen in a long time. I'm laughing about it as I sit here and type. Good thing that she was alright.

...and another thing...so, I get off work today...totally intended to come straight home and come to the gym. Yea...so that didn't happen. I came home and took a 2 hour nap...the best nap I've had in a long time...a nap so good that I plan on doing the same thing tomorrow...which means going to the gym BEFORE work. We'll see how this works.
