This isn't about the X-Box, but I thought I'd share my little first day at work with you all in here.
I started a new job today so I was up early and ready to get going. I got to the place and met the blokes there - seem like a decent lot to work with. :-)
My new supervisor then took me up to the training room and informed me I had to watch a safety video. I sat down and started watching and Trevor (supervisor) said "I'll be back in like 25 mins when the vid is over, just take in as much as you can and I'll get you a little questionaire to fill out".
With about 5 minutes to go on the vid, I started to feel a little dizzy. Within a minute, I was feeling VERY dizzy. I started to feel sick (but not to the point where I was actually gonna throw up), I started to really sweat and my fingers started to tingle.
The only way I could keep myself conscious was to lean forward in my chair. My body was urging me to lay down but there was no way I was gonna have Trevor find me sprawled out on the floor. So I stayed on the chair feeling very worried about what was happening.
Trevor came back in and when he saw me, was pretty worried - he rushed down to get the medic who came back up with him, opened the windows and told me to relax while making sure I stayed conscious.
I felt so embarressed but it was nice that everyone was so understanding and stuff. I was worried I'd just blown my chance of working for the place more than that I was feeling like a bag of shat.
I was so bad that they called the emergency services and a paramedic arrived. My sugar level was fine but my pulse was pretty bad - around 50 (normal is around 90). After like 20 minutes I was ok, but the paramedic decided to play safe and take me to the hospital.
Turns out that it was probably down to not enough sleep and not eating breakfast (I never eat breakfast - always rushing out the door). Basically my head went crappy cause there wasn't enough oxygen going to it, my body reacted by pumping blood to my vital organs which is why I felt sick and stuff.
Anyway, I got a call from the place asking if I was ok. Trevor is off on a training course thing tomorrow so they've told me that they want me back on monday. :-)
I was really chuffed cause I really thought I wouldn't be back there. So overall, what a great first impression to make at a new job. Oh well, no doubt I'll be the most well known new starter ever in the place. ;-))

Phew, that sounded pretty serious. At least you've got an extra few days off.
I suggest you have breakfast on Monday morn.
-Mental note: I must get a job or I'll never afford all the games I want-

You know that meant either. They're very similar in my mighty simple mind.

I never eat breakfast ever, and I get about 5 hours sleep a night.
Maybe I should take note?

I suppose it wasn't as bad as walking in on your first day and knocking over a massive pile of newly deleivered Banjos...
Where are you working and how much are you getting?
