Am I supposed to be excited?

So, I unofficially start my new position today. Unofficially, as technically my start date was Saturday. You see, I'm technically on-call 24 hours/day and 7 days/week, however the only site supervisors who enforce that are masochists.

It weird for me to be up this early on a work day and not be at work yet. My supervisor doesn't get in until around 9:20, so I have to sit around in the meanwhile and twiddle my thumbs. I've had a semi-nutritious breakfast, I smell squeaky clean, and the cats have been fed. Now I just have to wait half an hour to leave...I don't want to be sitting in the hallway in front of a locked office...because time that noone witnesses is basically time you're not there.

I guess I could finally unpack my suitcase from last week's trip, but I'm not feeling like doing anything "above and beyond" right now. I think I'll go eat a candy bar. Maybe I'll go spend my last $5 in cash on a frappuchino so that I can put on that facade of peppiness that some people like to do on their first days.

Or maybe I can make a bet with myself of how many times I'll have to pee today. I'm thinking 10.
