First official day of work today, felt very official and legit with own mug and desk and computer and everything. My favorite part of the day was when we made a caravan of four chairs on wheels to transport huge boxes of mailings. Everyone in the office had a good laugh at us as we slowly paraded past them. Being the first day, everything went by pretty fast and a lot went over my head. Shook a lot of hands, including one very special one belonging to the head of the division, namely, the boss of my supervisor and pretty much everyone else in the division. He seems like super guy.
Moi: (after mumbling something about it's nice meeting him)... I saw you on the Daily Show!
Boss Man: (chuckles modestly) Ah yes, my one claim to fame (this from a man with his own wikipedia page). That was the pinnacle of my career.
Moi: Everything was just downhill from there?
Boss Man: Nothing in my life before it or since then compares.
(It comes out in conversation that he was just on World News Tonight last week and the week before... a fact I was previously unaware of)
Boss Man: Yeah, that was fun but Peter Jennings... no wait, what's his name, Charles Gibson, just isn't the same as Jon Stewart.
