    Adult job? Make sure you pack some blue pills.

      Don't be a twat.

      Just play it cool. At the end of the day you'll probably collapse and sleep on the sofa. It's perfectly normal.

      Take a big **** in the work toilets to mark your territory. And don't flush it. People's reactions will give you a massive insight straight away.

        Get your c*ck out. Definitely.

        In more serious first day advice I'd say give it a little while to suss everyone out. Play it cool as Prinny says.

          - Just be polite.
          - Don't be afraid to ask questions. No one will think you are an idiot on your first few days for doing that.
          - Make sure you have some way of remembering people's names-faces.
          - Don't tell them you belong to an internet forum for import video games.

            That's impossible.

              Just appear keen and don't be afraid to ask questions.

                I'd swap the words keen and afraid around to make this better advice.

                    Flirt with the women. And, if it floats your boat, the men as well.

                      Don't try and suggest changes, and don't be critical of ANYTHING.

                        common sense really -

                        DO be polite/smile, seem enthusiastic, etc

                        DONT stare at the office hottie/eat with your month open at lunchtime etc

                          remember the 2 ears 1 mouth ratio that is listen more than you talk. Don't rabbit on about everything in your personal life/hobbies/car problems etc. in the first day.

                          Don't ask when lunch is, when the first coffee break/smoke break is. just act surprised when they happen.

                          If someone says 'what did you think of X who interviewed you then kn0b heh?' act like a politician

                          Act keen

                          above all good luck!

                            Get in a fight on your first day, or become someone's bitch
