Help! I'm sinking.

The real world has got me firmly in its clutches now. There is no escape. Life as I know it is officially over.

Today was my first day at work. As first days go it was pretty uneventful. Got my ID, my cubicle and my new boss. I am on a borrowed computer with a borrowed password, until my sweet new laptop is delivered. That was the most exciting part of the day - the information that I, unlike most people, would be getting a laptop. The actual reason for it isn't quite as exciting, but we're focusing on the new toy, not its reasons for being.

Anyway, met lots of new people - ALL of whom were my height or shorter than me (also exciting), and not a single male in the lot, which was quite strange. Everyone seems really nice, but there is rumor that the big boss is somewhat of a tyrant so I look forward to that meeting.

Tomorrow I get actual work to do. Sigh!
