Friday afternoon

It's Friday afternoon and almost every boss in the building left by 3 o'clock today. Of course, they were all sure to give extensive work instructions to the worker bees before they left. Is this what it will be like every Friday? Why doesn't everybody just leave after the bosses leave?

Halo 3

Halo 3 came out last night and half of the engineering staff is busy playing it on the company XBox. If it's not Guitar Hero or foosball, now it's Halo. I'm not sure how anyone gets work done around here. And its all paid for by the company.

Trophy

The bosses girlfriend was in this afternoon. She waters the office plants. I'm not sure if she gets paid to do it. I talked with her briefly. She is a total airhead - she even has the baby-girl voice. I asked around and people say that she and the boss started dating while he was still married. The old wife is not a looker so he's definitely moved up on that score. But it makes me wonder about his morals and how he treats others who have been loyal to him. Oh well. I'm sure there's no reason to think about how it applies to me.

Company meeting

What a disappointment. Temporary and new employees are not allowed at the company meeting. I wonder what goes on at this top secret meeting? I'll have to ask around to find out but it must be very important.

Anticipation

This morning I'll be attending my first company meeting. Each week they have these to make announcements, coordinate projects, give out assignments. I'm looking forward to see how it all goes down.

Kitchen Party

Wow! As I was leaving, I noticed a huge ruckus from the kitchen. A bunch of people had gathered and were drinking beer from the company supplied keg. There was quite a bit of lewd talk which I felt was inappropriate for the workplace, so I left early. I was surprised to see that nobody else was bothered by it.

First week

Well my first week is over. The people here are great but the boss is pretty weird. He's always walking around with his shirt hanging out and unbuttoned. He never wears dark clothes and the huge flakes on his shoulders are why. I have been hired as a temp but have been told that most temps are eventually converted to permanent positions. I hope that's me!
