Do you wanna know? Do you REALLY wanna know????
FINE!!!!
IF you reallyyyyyyyyyy wanna know.
I TRIPPED!!! OK?!!! I (Yes, ME!!!) fell half a block from my destination!! Or, as I'd rather say that I was actually "kneeling" with both my knees on the concret pavement. That's right. Yes, I did!! I was "praying to God" that I wouldn't mess up my very first day at work. HA HA HA.....

Word of advice for those who need to go anywhere that they would consider "unfamiliar territory":
GET A MAP!

Bad news =
1.Wearing a long wool coat so that the person going down the stairs behind you can use it as a rug.
2.Lexington Av. & 53 Street (E/F train) + Rush Hour + Mad crowd + One Escalator that seems a mile long.
3.Long speeches + corny jokes.

The beginning of a new year,
The beginning of the 'busy' season,
The beginning of life in the 'dark-side',
The beginning of the six day work week,
The beginning of no life outside of work,
The beginning of aching back and neck,
......
Hopefully, the end won't be too far away.
Looking forward to the long vacation after all these 'beginnings'
*fingers crossed!!*

Warning for all: IT IS A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!
The story goes something like this...
One day, a partner from XYZ called Guy-A, my boss, to inquire of a John Doe who was interviewing there. (Guy-A, John Doe and I all worked at my previous company.) Since Guy-A didn't know John Doe, he asked me if I could tell him anything about him. Personally, I never worked with John Doe; hence, I gave no comments. Next thing I know, Guy-A was on the phone calling John Doe's old boss. Yah-di-Yah-di-Yah. Guy-A then went back to tell XYZ that John Doe is a smart guy but he doesn't know if John Doe is lazy. In addition, he wouldn't hire John Doe himself.
I guess John Doe can kiss that interview goodbye. This whole situation makes me wonder: 1)Guy-A has no right to tell anyone what kind of person/employee John Doe is when he doesn't even know John Doe. It is just unfair to use second hand information even though he insisted that he repeated Guy-B's comments word for word. Exactly what kind of person am I working for?? 2)What is the point of putting "reference furnished upon request" on resumes or signing background check authorization forms when companies like XYZ are sneaking around???
So, just remember to always leave a job on a friendly basis. You never know who your next potential employer will call to get a reference on you.
