My first day on the job at Arts Glass in Tacoma, Wn.
My job was to pick up and deliver glass. My first assignment was to go downtown and pick up an order from a customer.
I drove the small white Datsun pick up to the address, parked, went inside the business and did what I was suppose to do.
I left the building jumped in a small white pick up, put the key in the ignition but the key wouldn't turn. I figured it was a little out of whack so I kept fiddling with it getting a little more nervous because I wanted to make a good impression on my new boss by getting the job done promptly.
As I continued to fiddle with the ignition, I couldn't help but notice a man, woman, and little girl standing right next to the door of the pick up. I rolled down the window and the man asked "are you having a problem starting the truck?", "yes I replied. I can't get this key to turn in the ignition."
he said, "maybe it's because you are in my truck, I think the small white Datsun pick up to the rear of you might belong to you, why don't you try your key in that one?"
I was embarrassed to tears and began apologizing but at that moment I was attacked by an uncontrollable fit of laughter because by then a small crowd of on lookers had appeared and I just imagined how rediculous and silly this must look, "so much for first day on the job impressions"
Alls well that ends well though, no harm no foul...
