I'll Say She Is!

The New Kid

Yesterday was the easiest first day on a new job ever. I got to make lots of jokes about not being gone long enough for people to miss me, or introducing myself as the new web designer. Fortunately I left my boxes of office crap in my car, so moving in was a breeze, though I'll probably be switching cubicles when my predecesor leaves next week. Hopefully cube feng shui will not be too affected. The worst thing is that I deleted all my bookmarks. Oh well, I probably won't have too much time to spend on the Internet in the next few weeks.

You guys are right, Dreamweaver seems pretty intuitive - man is it easy to put links in with that thing! - and I do get that stupid song in my head. I've found the copy of the CD I was given with Flash, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks, so my computer technician will be installing that at home tonight.

Jeff tells me that now that I'm a web designer, I have to cut my hair and dye it black, and wear those tiny little eyeglasses. He also says I'm not pale enough, which I find hard to believe.

Don't forget clove cigarettes and the black vinyl. That sort of touches off the look. I believe eyebrow piercings and tattoos are optional accessories.
Hear that, honey? Now you can get that tattoo you've always wanted!

I'd suggest something tasteful, like Death Before Nonstandard Extensions!, but given your workplace's positive attitude towards spam, multiple exclamation marks and the "carnie mentality", that would probably end up getting you in trouble.
