And so what we have learned applies to our lives today... II

Musings upon a first day of work:

1:
While an employer might require you to be clean-shaven, using a new razor (in order to get a nice, close shave) is not always advisable. Use an old one. You may not look like you walked out of a Gillette commercial, but then again, you won't look like you had an incident with a poorly trained executioner accompanied by a blunt axe on the way to work either.

2:
When you first look at your schedule, do away with all your preconceived notions of a calendar. From personal experience, don't expect the third column on a work schedule to be "Tuesday." It might actually be Thursday, you never know.

3:
Always verbally double-check the days that you work with your manager. Don't assume that you follwed #2.

These will hopefullly save you from the fate of walking into your workplace and having your manager say "Umm...you might want to come back the day after tomorrow...."

I'll probably laugh about this...eventually...
