rookie status.

my first week at my new job went a little like this...


-on my first assignment, i emailed out the wrong logo to my co-workers. what a great way to start off.
-i burnt a bag of popcorn in the office kitchen, which in turn stunk up the entire office and my boss thought i was burning the place down.
-my boss caught me playing solitaire and browsing us weekly. can you blame me?! they didn't give me any assignments.
-i transferred phone calls to my co-workers without asking if they wanted the call first. my mistake.
-i left my wallet in the second floors bathroom by accident. someone delivered it back to me a couple hours later. all my money was intact. praise the Lord.
-i came in late on my third day because i had a doctor's appointment that i couldn't miss. again, not my fault.
-my office is pretty casual, so on thursday i wore a more casual outfit. one of my co-workers said, "Wow, you already came down to our level". I think that was a compliment/approval?!
- i was asked to order liner bags for the recycle bin on an office supply website, i ordered 100 bags for $260. ya, i thought it was a little steep, but i did what i was asked. when my supervisor got the receipt she said that they were WAY too much. i canceled the order. i said those were the only ones i could find,  after about 10 seconds of looking, she found some bags for $50. i'm still a rookie.
-i put one of my co-workers coffee cups in the dishwasher when in fact he was just looking for a refill. oopsies


who wouldn't want to hire me?!

i start my second week tomorrow morning, hoping this week is a little better than last. wish me luck :)
