Take one mom and four kids.
Get them all ready and out the door by 8:30 for a "surprise" open house at Daddy's work.
Take them around to all the "exhibits" (i.e. helicopter, K-9, horses, radio room,etc.) for 2 1/2 hours in the 90 degree Arizona sun.
After you're done with the tour wait 1/2 an hour for the pizza to be delivered.
While waiting, sit near another family.
Have your 3 year old throw rocks at their 4 year old.
Reprimand your 3 year old who's been a stinker all day.
Make chit chat with said family.
Answer question about why you are at said open house with the fact that your husband works there and that you were just hired also.
Have the man you're chit chatting with inform you that he's the Chief.
Make weird face realizing that this will soon be your BIG boss.
Remain embarassed that your son threw rocks at his daughter and that you had no idea who he was.
End scene.
Can't wait for my first day!
EEEK! Oh dear. Sounds like a sitcom!

Isn't that how it always goes? I'm sure you'll be fine!

Hahaha
At least you didn't talk about the a-hole boss, or anything.
:D

That's EXACTLY the scenario I would find myself in! Hope your first day goes well. xx

I'm glad other people have things like this happen to them, too...
At least you made an impression on the boss! I'm sure you'll be remembered.... And he has kids. Let's hope he has a sense of humor, as well!
