My new job, and how 24 affects it

Posted: Dec 05, 2007 12:12 am

I recently got my first office type job - prior to this all my jobs were outdoors, in barns, etc. So I'm at my job and I find myself relating everything to 24.

My bosses, Bill and Teri
Being that I'm a newbie, I'm having to rush around like a crazy person to meet impossible deadlines for deliveries and do jobs within the office building
I have a keycard and must type my password
I have been given a 'level 2 clearance'
There are Edgars, Tonys, Lynns, Masons, and even a Chloe
I sit at my desk with my headset and give various people information that they usually need right away
We are actually referred to as 'agents'

Anyways, at least I keep myself entertained at work, and if I think of any other details, I'll be sure to post them.
Also, I just want to know, am I crazy, or do other people find similarities or think of 24 at work?

Just as long as you don't tell your boss that you "can't get that satellite retasked because the intel I'm waiting on hasn't been processed by Division yet and my socket won't open"... or anything else tragically insane from the show!

I'm a student. Nothing like Twenty-Four at all. Crying or Very sad

Lol, I ALMOST wish I was a CTU agent, mind you they don't seem to live too long. I'm not sure what you would call it, but I pretty much just do what I'm told. Coffee runs, organizing things, filing, delivering things to different departments of the building. I am just finishing up my computer training for the software they have there, and I even get to wear a headset! Lol.

Well, I'm going to be doing a few 16 hour shifts this week. Although it's not 24 hours, it's probably gonna feel like it near the end! Confused
