My first day at work

I've just finished my first day at work. As soon as 4:21 pm came around I shut down my computer and made my merry way out the door. Well it wasn't exactly like that but it wasn't exactly a tough day. It's scary how I was able to slot back into my old role as soon as I arrived back and even scarier how easy it was. Nothing seems to change. Not in Alice or the way the government runs. When I arrived I turned on my computer and found I had not been given access to the databases that had been requested the week before when they were setting up my computer account. It was for that reason that I didn't really have a stressful day. Instead I just had to try and get my head around the filing system of the person I was replacing and trying to make it suit me. The rest of the day I spent filling in forms. Forms for ID cards, forms for keys, forms for swipe cards, forms for pay, forms for superanuation, forms to fill in forms. I wonder what my second day will hold. If the past is anything to go by, much of the same.
