First day in my new job.
When I arrive in the office the Head of the Research Group is a bit flustered. "There has been a delivery for you. Flowers. I don't think we have ever had flowers in this office before. Who sent them? We didn't. Should we have done? Not that I don't like flowers. I often wish someone would send some to me." I'm listening but there is a photo of him on the wall behind his head. He is standing in a motorised canoe on the estuary of the Tutuling River in Indonesia. It's very distracting.
Next step is to clear my desk of rock samples.
I remember getting flowers at work, it made some of the others turn several shades of green!
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best in your new job.
Thank you! I am hoping to earn enough to pay for all the fun things I want to do without spending so much time at work that I haven't got time for fun.
Deletepresumably he was just Tutuling along mind his own business...
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to cause a bit of a stir when you're new. (Brilliant, Mr M.)
ReplyDeleteDo not encourage him.
DeleteI believe you should encourage him, he is rather amusing.
DeleteI hope you enjoy your new job Alice and that it has not to many pressures on you.
I love this!
ReplyDeleteI find your rock sample distracting. I could give it a good home.
