First day at work
It's all new and rather confusing. When it was finally time to leave, I headed down the stairs but found myself facing a door labelled "Do Not Open - door alarmed!". OK, so I've taken a wrong turning. Turn around to retrace my steps, and find that the door behind me has a code-lock on it. And I don't have the code, of course.
So I'm trapped in the bowels of the building, with no way out. The office number wasn't on my mobile, as I'd called only from my landline, but luckily I had dialled it frequently enough over the last few days to eventually remember it. Thankfully there was still someone in the office, so I was released, and shown the proper way out.
"Not a great first day," I offered, sheepishly. They told me not to worry, as someone else - attempting to impress by staying late on her first day - had managed to get locked in the office on her own. She attempted to climb out of a window, but lost her nerve half way, and had to be rescued by the fire brigade - in front of a large crowd of pointing and laughing passers-by.
