My First Day in My New Office

My first day at work was both boring and eventful. I'm getting ahead of myself. Here is how it went...

My boss assigned an officemate to be my buddy. He is nice but he is not open to suggestions he is so rigid! I tried to talk to him about a new technology and he kept on insisting the old way is better! It was a good thing he did not take it personally.

On my first hour, I received a phone call informing me that I am being called to attend a meeting. The agenda was the redesign of the existing Web site. I just listened carefully to their exchange of ideas. After the meeting, the hours dragged on. I simply killed time to say the least.

Then I thought of having my class reference xeroxed. I asked where the nearest copy center is and they informed me it was ok for me to xerox the whole book in the office free of charge. After that, I was able to read issues of magazines just stacked everywhere.

Close to the end of office hours, a familiar face dropped by the office. I gave him suggestions on how to improve exisitng documents. He was not open to it yet he was game enough to ask me to work with him. Similar to the start of my day, I also argued with him.

On my way home, my mind was filled with ideas on how to improve existing office procedures. I actually made a list of them. Now I know my purpose for being here. God surely is generous with his blessings.
