First Day Screw-Up
Anonymous Scandalous Imp #206 · General
I messed up big time on my first day at work. Woke up late, rushed through breakfast, and I'm already stressed out by now. Got to the office, everything's new, computer, names, even the layout of the cubicles. Thought it was a good idea to get some coffee before settling in. Went downstairs to grab something from the break room, but walked right past my desk because it all looks the same. Spent ten minutes searching for it like I was backtracking through a maze. And then, when I finally find my spot and sit down, my boss walks over with an important meeting schedule. But guess what? I have to run that meeting in five minutes. My face burned bright red, felt like everyone could see my thoughts. Why did I choose today of all days to get disoriented? I know it's silly to feel this way about a first day, but everything felt so out of place.
