I'm Important
I popped into work after University to catch up on the gossip, when this pretty twenty-something girl wearing a dark suit walked in. I watched her nervously flip through a magazine while she waited for the boss. I wanted to tell her to calm down, because she had the job for just showing up. That's how I got hired. I showed up, she interviewed me for like five minutes, and she asked me to start that same day. Anyway, after a bit, she took her through the shop, introducing her to everyone. I felt important, like a seasoned employee. She told me that I was going to train her and she would take over doing the pleb work. I was so excited. She starts Saturday. And if that weren't good enough, a few minutes after she left, she was showing another new employee around the shop, this time a teenage boy. My boss stopped in front of me, introduced us to each other and said, "Billy will be your teacher. He'll show you how to do everything." So now I've got two people training under me, which is unbelievable.
