We all know how we felt on the first day of school or the first day of our new job... So an externship is like a mix of those - you have to do well like you do at work, but it's a reflection of how well you do at school...
Oye.
So today was the first day of my externship. I wasn't too nervous. I felt pretty good going into the day. A few little bumps in the road occurred, but I expected those. I was eager to go to lunch - get out of the office during those first day silences... Because you don't really know anybody that well, and you're not sure if they'll dig your crazy personality. Well, that was a mistake...
I've been to the office several times before, and each time - the stairwell door was open. I'm confident of this - because I took the stairwell those times... This time, the stairwell door was closed. Alrighty - I could take the elevator. However, it is one of my New Year's resolutions to take the stairs whenever possible. I wanna have killer legs... And thighs...
So anyhoo, I figured... I'll just push the door open...
No, the door was not labeled "Emergency Exit Only." Yes, the alarm went off. Yes, Lauren stood in the lobby with a few dozen people staring at her.
Ahh, I'll never forget my first day. :)
