Office Space: Real World Edition


Me: I LOVED Office Space as a movie... not as my life.

Today was my first day at my new job. I'd name the company, but considering I had to read an entire BINDER of things I can and cannot do... and one of them HAPPENED to discourage mentioning the company on personal blogs... I guess I won't then.

So for fun, we are going to refer to my current office job as "Victor Global." I'm sure La will get a kick out of that, since she's also working there (and the one that got me the job.) Thanks, Lauren!

So. Victor Global basically moves big businesses and big people all around the world. But we don't actually move anything. We just hire people to move other people. Or so... I think that's what we do. I'm not quite sure. I was confused alot today. I know there's a lot of paperwork involved. And a lot of rich, mean people.

But yeah. Today I was interviewed -- and then they actually started my training right away. Nothing like jumping in with both feet. I'll be doing a lot of bitch work at first from what La tells me, but at least its Monday - Friday, 8-5 with an hour lunch break. 40 hours a week.

And need I say more than I have my own cubicle...

COMPLETE with my very own personal stapler?

Milton Waddams: [talking on the phone] And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...
