I'm assuming you're a jet fighter pilot, a Naval aviator who is in the top 1 percent of pilots. For your first day at Fighter Weapons School, call the tower and request a flyby. They will give you a negative response because the pattern is full, but right as the air traffic controller is about to take a sip of scalding coffee, buzz the tower at over 400 knots. His coffee will spill everywhere and then he'll want your butt. And he'll want it now.

Show up an hour late and blame daylight saving time.

Paranoia-': Actually you are going to delay renewing because i was going to sponsor you but accidentally hit back and now it wont let me finish. I have to wait thirty minutes...

Ha. I appreciate the sentiment. But then I'd probably have to send you BIE or something. I'm not ready for that.

Tap dance. But don't wear tap shoes.

Wait for the first person to say hello or say something polite, etc.

Once they do grab them by the throat and say "If you mess with me one more time, you won't live to see the reaction" or something to that effect. Then casually chokeslam them through the nearest table, and pose.

xl5150: I'm sorry, subby. I feel for you. When I was 17 my dad made me get a job over the summer to show me how much it sucks to be dependent on a job for your money. I had to work three days a week the whole summer, which pretty much ruined my whole summer, and I was making just over $11 an hour (this was in the mid-90s, so it was pretty much minimum wage). It was the worst summer I ever had. I hope things look up for you soon.

$11 was nowhere near minimum wage in the mid-90s. Minimum wage was $4.25 an hour for the first half of the '90s, raising to $5.15 by the end of the '90s. Hell, even today minimum wage is only $7.25 an hour.

/Would have loved to work for $11/hr in the '90s
//Barely made $11/hr while in grad school in the '00s

walk into your boss' office, point at the picture on the desk and say 'who's the coont?!?'

That only works if you are chinese. Then everyone is afraid of saying anything to you because "hey, thats just their culture"

Depends if you want to still have the job after tomorrow.

I have a few stories about 1-day employees.

Whenever some one asks you 'how's it going?'

Look them square in the eye and say,' I don't know,I've never gotten this far before.'

Once you get business cards printed, give them out to the women at the office while asking for BIE.

Find the biggest, toughest looking dude and kick his ass

I actually give the worst advice.

06Wahoo: Uh, Subby? Exactly what gave you the idea that asking this question on Fark was a good idea?

I'm going to give the Subby enough credit to assume it was an attempt to lighten his fear and tension about tomorrow with Farks brand of crude humor rather than a real attempt to get tips for success.
 
2012-08-05 10:12:22 PM
Well.

This is a fun thread, and would be more so... were my first responsibility tomorrow not bringing a new hire on board my team.

Tomorrow's gonna be a good day.

Wait until you're out of sight of all of your office mates except for one. Go up behind that person when they're sitting down, drop trau, and place your dick on their shoulder.

When you're called into HR and are asked: "Did you put your dick on their shoulder," act indignant and say: "Of course not! It would never reach somebody's shoulder! Here, let me show you..."

kick someone's ass or become someone's biatch.
 
2012-08-05 10:13:43 PM
if your first day of work is at a movie theatre, and they force you to wear one of those name tags with your name on it then under it is your supposedly "favourite movie", put the name of a porno. ie. "Backdoor Sluts 3".

(works if you're a girl or a guy).

sarahthustra: be the guy who microwaves his leftover fish at lunchtime. everyone loves guy who microwaves his leftover fish at lunchtime.

My god! everyone loves that guy at my place of business -_-


I suggest you walk around with your finger hanging out of your open fly. Worked for me.
 
2012-08-05 10:13:46 PM
Amateurs. Want to make yourself known? Want to keep everyone on their toes until the day you quit?

You need to pull an upper decker. That'll show them who's boss. They'll always wonder when the next time you'll do it. They'll fear you.
 
2012-08-05 10:14:01 PM
Randomly pick 10 of the above posts and do them all.

also: Canned sardines. Eat a can first thing and leave the open can at your desk. Spill some sardine juice around your cubicle.

Put a framed picture of a coat hanger on your desk.

Mr. Murder: Surool: Kick someone's ass the first day, or become someone's biatch.

Work's for prison time too.

Dammit Rool. You're the 20th person to say that.

Damn liters!


Did you really think I was going to read the whole thread to see if that hackneyed joke was already in here?
 
2012-08-05 10:14:23 PM
Wear a Stormtrooper helmet. Also, wear said helmet when you destroy the bathroom, so the people that see you walk out are like "Hey, that Stormtrooper just fouled the bathroom up BIG TIME!!"

And if anyone asks why you have a Stormtrooper helmet on your desk just say it was there when you got there.

W.C.fields forever: Whenever some one asks you 'how's it going?'

Look them square in the eye and say,' I don't know,I've never gotten this far before.'


And, when they stare blankly at you, ask, "Where's the save point?" Then wander aimlessly down the hall.

point to the picture on the bosses desk and say "Who's the coont?"

Print some nice pictures of a famous supermodel out, frame them, and put them all over your desk. And if anybody asks, just tell them that you used to date her a long time ago.

Sodomy. Nothing says "hello" like sodomy.

Heraclitus: Use a mnemonic device to remember each persons name that you meet on the first day.

IE:
Stinky Pete
Stony Jonie
Bob the Knob
etc...


Yes?

Ask everyone how old they are.

Don't look anyone in the eye.

Ask everyone what their marital status is.
 
2012-08-05 10:22:53 PM
Tell everyone you meet that you have to go talk to "The Bobs".

Don't forget to use "air bunnies" when you say "The Bobs".
