Default First Day At Work...

Well... just graduated college and now I have officially started my working career. I've been working for this company for 2 years now as an intern, but as an intern I could have taken off whenever I wanted... just more layed back I suppose. Now it's time to work everyday and with no paid vacation for the first year... It's all good though. School is over, at least for now so that's totally a plus... lol.

Yep, it's the real world from now on. Good luck and save for that vacation in a year, you will need it.

Congratulations. I hope you're doing something fun for a living because the honeymoon sure doesn't last long.

I knew somebody was going to mention the whole college drinking thing... lol. It does suck and I did think about how going out on a weekday and getting hammered isn't exactly going to happen anymore... lol. But it's all good I guess though cause now I don't have money or spending issues... lol.
