I Can Do It

Today was my first day at work and it was actually good, I was quite surprised. The work looks easy enough, provided I don't get anything too complicated to handle anytime soon. And the office is wonderful.

We can wear what we like at long as we look decent. Tesco does 2 deliveries a week to fill the kitchen fridge up with cheese, tomatoes, cold meats, butter, sauces, mayo and tons of other stuff. And lemme tell you this fridge is huge. So provided there is food in the fridge and bread, bagels or pita breads in the cupboard you need not bring lunch. SCORE, save a bit of money, pity I'm not into bread, I'll just eat everything separately.
Plus the office is fully air conditioned so that means no hot sticky days in a non ventilated office like TLC was. No being on the phone all day - freedom to have your cellphone switched on - internet access to just about everything but porn and hotmail - email that you're allowed to use for personal use. And did I mention the huge 72" TV to watch during lunch time?

And possibly the best thing of all, I can walk for 5 mins to Buckingham palace or St James's Park to plonk my arse down and eat lunch, which is what I did today, it was so nice not to be in a hot stuffy lunch room that smells of fish and curry where ppl leave their Mac Donald's packets and cartons lying about.

I was due in at 09h30 and not wanting to be late I got there at 08h55 so decided to take a stroll to the park, as I was sitting, enjoying the air and ducks landing on the water, the sound of birds chirping and the overwhelmingly strong smell of pollen with all of the flowers blooming I heard a marching band. I stood up to hear where the sound was coming from at first I thought it might be the palace guards announcing that Queen Elizabeth II was going out. Then I realised it was the coming from the guards house building. Off I trotted to see what was up hoping that by the time I got there they wouldn't have packed up already. I was in luck they were actually practicing out in the court yard, behind big bars of course. I stayed and watched until 09h20 and then made my way to make my entrance.

I was pleased now, I got to stroll in the park, saw the Queen was in and visited her for lunch as well as learnt that I'm working in a pretty cool environment.

It was a good first day!
