My second day I got there and the office was locked. This is what happened to me on my last day of my last job and I started freaking out that I was going to be fired on my second day! Naturally, I had forgotten both my cell phone and my clonazepam, two essentials that I really needed.
I waited 10 minutes, paced the hall, pounded on the door, just in case somebody was in there and didn't hear me, finally got into my car and drove to a pay phone. Standing in a puddle and fearing the germs on the phone I called the office: it went immediately to the voicemail system. I left a voicemail for my boss saying I was 15 minutes away from my house and was going to get my cell phone, and call them again on the way back to the office.
Who I really needed to call was my T. And I really needed my meds, too. From home I called the office and someone was there. New Boss wondered why I didn't just sit in the hall and wait, but he bought that I live close to the office and thought if someone from there was calling my cell phone to let me know what time they'd be in, it was important that I have it.
I talked to my T the whole way back to the office. Took two clonazepam, too. Not a good way to start a day, but I worked the whole week and have stuff on my desk to do on Monday.
