So, I start my new job tomorrow, and before that happens I need to figure out a few things.
1) How do I get myself to wake up and actually be functionable at 5:30a? I have to be there early for paperwork for my first day.
2) What do I wear? It's a business cas office, but being it's my frist day, do I still wear a suit?
3) How does one cure a cold in only a few hours? I was really cold at the PSU/MSU game yesterday and I knew I was going to end up sick.
4) How do I ask about getting an advance on my time off so that I can go home for Thanksgiving? My family doesn't really do Christmas. But Thanksgiving is the big one for everyone. They are doing it on Friday in Iowa. However, since I only start tomorrow I won't have earned any time off to take Friday off. Friday isn't a federal holiday so technically, I have to work. Though I can't imagine anyone else will be in the office and I'll be in the middle of "training". How can I train if there won't be anyone there to help me? Hmm... I'd really rather go home for Thanksgiving and work around Christmas. My bro won't be home for either. But he will be in Iowa for Thanksgiving. Aww.. I can't imagine that our family won't have a single holiday together this year.
ideas?
