I'm just wondering, after a very very very very brutal day in the belly of the ship, work, how'd the whole, "Honeymoon period" saying came about...and why is it over sooo quickly?
Wikipedia says the "Honeymoon period" usually lasts 3 months. 3 months? 3 months?
Well, no disrespect anonymous Wiki-blogger, but you're wrong - mine ended in a month. An end like, Marie-Antoinette-on-Bastille-Day end. And it came without warning, too.
Damn.
I was hoping for at least another week or two. I mean, 4 weeks is pretty short. You can't even get into a stride in a job in 4 weeks. You're barely understanding the office politics in 4 weeks. I didn't even get my keys or double secret alarm code. I just found the copier yesterday, for Pete's sake.
But boy, is the Honeymoon period great or what?
HONEYMOON PERIOD:

You can do no wrong - and simply your presence will solve every internal process problem, great or small |
During the Honeymoon period you can eat someone else's food from the refrigerator.
"Uh, wha, was that yours? Whoa, sorry, I thought it was, like, communal...sorry."
"Uh, wha, was that yours? Whoa, sorry, I thought it was, like, communal...sorry."
During the Honeymoon period you can throw your hands up and completely claim stupid.
"Mmm, well, I have no idea how to unjam the copier."
"Mmm, well, I have no idea how to unjam the copier."
During the Honeymoon period you can take the CEO's parking spot.
"Oh, sir, my bad, I thought it was open parking."
"Oh, sir, my bad, I thought it was open parking."
During the Honeymoon period you can get away with downloading porn.
"Uh, yeh, that, that, that was me - I was trying to log into the server and, well, yeh, mmm, I guess it took me to "Big knockers" instead."
"Uh, yeh, that, that, that was me - I was trying to log into the server and, well, yeh, mmm, I guess it took me to "Big knockers" instead."
During the Honeymoon period you can pretty much break every rule.
"Really? Sexual harassment was mandatory at my last place..."
Here's to hoping your honeymoon period lasts longer than mine did. Now I know how women feel coming off their monthly visitor dealing with men - the hounds are at the door and they are hungry - just leave me alone will ya?
This was good, reminds me of my own honeymoon...yup it is definitly over
