How To Survive the First Day of Work
The
first day of work can be stressful, so I decided to write some tips for
people who are going to have their first day of work soon. It includes
many different things, like what you should wear, acceptable coworker
greeting procedure, how to get rid of those first day jitters, and so
very much more. Well actually I'm not going to lie to you: There isn't
anything more besides that stuff. But what is there is fairly good, as
far as things go. I'd probably give it a 6/10, if I had to give it
something.Dress code
Deciding
what to wear on the first day of work can be stressful in and of
itself. Before heading out for the day, you may want to consider having
a quick glance over the company handbook to see if they've included any
information about dress codes. Alternatively, you could just wear
whatever you feel like wearing until someone complains. This is usually
the approach I take. If you decide to go this second route though, here
are some basic fashion guidelines you should follow:
Bowl Cuts
Don't you dare come to work with a bowl cut!
Skin Tight Stonewashed Jeans
These are the fashion equivalent of sex with a fourteen year old. Don't even think about it.
Leather Vest
It
takes a real man to rock a leather vest, especially if he goes
shirtless underneath. But I always say: "If you got the guns, why not
flash em?"
Sunglasses (During the Day)
Listen, if you want to wear sunglasses inside an office building or whatever, I'm not going to stop you.
Sunglasses (At Night)
This
practice is acceptable ONLY if you were wearing the glasses "so you
could, so you could, forget your name while I collect your claim."
Otherwise, forget about it.
Short Shorts
Who wears short shorts? Well apparently, you do. But seriously, who am I to tell a man not to wear short shorts? Go for it dude.Bolo Tie
Hey, aren't bolo ties that one kind of tie Colonel Sanders wears? If so: Awesome.
Greetings & Salutations
What follows is a simple list of UNACCEPTABLE greetings.
How's It Hangin
Questions like this are considered quite rude in the workplace. If you're so interested in the state of other people's genitalia you can install a hidden toiletcams in the bathroom like the rest of us.Ass-Slap

Aaaaayyyy, lookoo it is! (makes crude masturbatory gesture).
Do this.Alleviating stresses
As
I said at the outset: The first day of work is probably going to be
stressful. This can be problematic, because, as they say, you only get
to make one first impression. So try to imagine, then, the first
impression one would make with his new coworkers he were to go
staggering through the building drenched in sweat and pulling at the
collar of his shirt simply because he is nervous for the first day of
work. It would be a scandalous affair, to be sure.So what can be done to combat these first day jitters? Prescription drug abuse are one possible solution. For legal reasons, I will not officially recommend this, but it has been said that medicines from the Benzodiazepine class (such as Clonazepam and Lorazepam) are very effective at combating the anxieties or troubling physical tics which might be brought about by first-day jitters.
Don't overdo it though, Benzodiazepines are well-known date-rape drugs! By abusing these substances, you risk unintentionally exposing yourself to inappropriate hand or face love by a lustful coworker (or at the very least: a thorough groping by members of the on-site janitorial staff).
