A cringe-worthy moment from my first day at a new job

It’s been 6 years, and I still can’t forget.

It was my first day at my new job.

The staffer said office 198 was mine and to pick an open computer/cubical space from the many available spots. Once I selected my space, I was told to put a sticky note with my name on the computer, indicating it was now taken.

These are the most simple, basic, easy-to-follow instructions I have probably ever received on a first-day.
