Baby's First day at...

Baby's first day at..., originally uploaded by suitablegirl.

Call it a false start, call it a gentle way to reacquaint myself with the normal, working world (I prefer the latter), but don't call it my "first day".  yesterday, I was home by 2pm, after enrolling, signing, deducting and new-badge-creating.  i.e. HR and I got cozy.  They may be headquartered so far away that I needed a glossy new zipcar to *get* there, but I was even more impressed by how kind this company is to their employees after yesterday.  Any road, minutes after I walked out through very pretty glass doors, I received a certain phone call many of you have inquired about-- yup, my mandatory "check up" came back all clear...which means that like Garbage Elastica (Thanks, Brian...yeesh I must've been way nervous to cock that up), Baby, I'm ready to go.

So, THIS is my actual first day of work.  I'm on my way downtown (who else has a seven-minute subway commute....anyone?  Just me?  HA!) to the location where I'll actually be toiling to foil evil on a daily basis.  I'm obnoxious enough to type this while in a winchester (Thomas Pink's white collar/cuff dress shirt...the rest of the shirt is black and white striped) and *cufflinks* with super-pretty new platform-heeled, patent-leather shoes (thanks, clrkn), i.e.  I look like a grown-up.  And I'm so nervous, I think I'm going to vomit the meager contents of my tumms (Godiva Dark Choc bottled coffee).  Fun!

Yep, today, not yesterday is *it*.  It's not a proper first day at school unless I'm nauseous enough to faint while my hands are too quivery to apply eyeliner.  Check and check. 

Bye-hoes-bye-hoes...it's off to work I go!  Can you believe it?  No day but today.  I can finally pay my RENT.  :)
