First Week Disaster

Anonymous Coy Charmer #792 · General

I just moved to this city a week ago and things haven't gone as planned. The first day I showed up at my new job thinking it was two hours later, but actually, I was right on time. So instead of being in the office when everyone else arrived for the morning meeting, there I was in an empty building. Then, to add insult to injury, I spilled coffee all over my brand-new work outfit. My co-workers were really understanding and offered me clothes from their own closets until mine could be washed, but it just felt so embarrassing. And on top of everything, I accidentally took the elevator with the guy from accounting who's known for being a bit of a grouch, turns out he was actually pretty nice once I started talking to him. In hindsight, the whole thing wasn't as bad as I imagined, and if it happened again, I’d probably handle it better. But still, there’s nothing like showing up at your new workplace looking like you just escaped a morning downpour of coffee.
