First Day...

Here's how it went:

1. Alarm went off late for my workout, so I got a measly 30 minutes in.

2. I got dressed, got in my car and realized I had no gas (which is a predicament seeing how I was about to drive for 40 minutes).

3. I haul to the gas station closest to my apartment. This gas station is known for having hobos hanging around. They always ask for money and it really frustrates me. I could go on a tangent about how some people really need the money but most are just going to use it to buy booze or crack...but I'll refrain.

4. You know how the gas hose is made to fall one direction? For example, you pull up to the station. Get out. Swipe your card. Grab the handle and typicall turn to the right to put your gas in the car because the hose naturally falls that way. Well, I didn't want to turn to the right. I needed to throw some things away in my car and I didn't want to have to go over or under the hose. I forced it to the left.

5. Of course, as I start pumping the gas a hobo walks up. As I'm saying "No, No I don't have any money" the hose flies out of the hole (so many innaprpriate references here) and starts spraying all over my car, the ground, the hobo and me.

6. The hobo leaves. Don't think he'll ever come back. Maybe he'll tell his friends to stay away, too.

7. I STINK...of gasoline. Awesome.

8. I am paranoid about my stench, so as soon as I get to Fort Worth (high from the smell...I really think I could have been pulled over for
"intoxication") I pull over at another shady gas station to get some lotion. All they have is Johnson's Baby lotion.

8. So, on my first day...I smell like a baby smothered in gasoline. Bet they loved me.

9. Regardless, I'm so excited about my new job and had a fantastic first day!
