First full week of work...
Yeah, they finally upgraded my hours from 30 to 40 a week (despite my fears they'd crank it down to 10 hours...) and I'm feeling pretty good about the change.
Today is the end of the first full week of 8-hour days, and it was great - learning the office web design protocols, teasing the co workers, enjoying a forbidden fast-food lunch before getting into the routine of brown bagging-it...
it makes me feel lovely and grown-up and everything, going on the train with the big boys and girls, never seeing the light of day...but I am still not quite grown up, it seems.
evidence that I am still officially five:
my boss uttered the sentence "okay, that page would be perfect if you just stroked the siemens [ed: pronounced, of course, semens] logo"
and I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from snickering.
and I've got months of this cheek-biting ahead, as I'm building the whole siemens site.
how the hell am I going to tell my friends and family what I did at work this week? "Oh, I spent the mornings stroking the siemens logo, then I had lunch..."

Little lady, don't you worry about a thing. You're unprofessional, but we only hired you for your sweet, sweet titties.
