***LOGAN'S POV***

RTX was over, and I was ready to start my new job. Geoff gave us all today and tomorrow off, so we could rest a bit. The last few days had been weird. Friday I was thrown into a group of guys and expected to fit in.

As for my new coworkers, I really only got to hang out with the Achievement Hunter bunch. Burnie had introduced himself at the beginning, but that was all I saw of him or anyone else.

I drove home and looked around my one room apartment. It was empty besides a kitchen, a couch and a small table with a chair. I dug through the fridge and cabinets and everywhere, but I found it completely empty. I didn't wanna go out for groceries either. Guess I was going hungry tonight. But that's alright. I slumped down on the couch and fell asleep, exhausted from the morning's hangover.

I mostly lounged around until Wednesday, when I had to go back to work. I realized that nobody had actually told me when to get there. So, I woke up at 6, arriving at my new workplace around 8.

I walked inside and saw that it was dead silent. I thought I was alone, until Ray walked past. He did a double take, and then realized it was just me.

"Shit, this place is empty!" I said

"Yeah," he replied, walking down the hall. I followed him. "Nobody else usually gets here till around 11 at the very earliest. Most days it's just me."

I looked around the building feeling completely lost. He looked up and saw me staring at everything.

"Oh, I guess this is your first time here. We just moved to this new building, about a month ago. Would you care for a tour?" He asked me, and I nodded, smiling.

He showed me around, and this place was a lot bigger than I thought it was. I'm talking hallways an hallways of doors, all the same. I didn't learn a thing from our tour.

When we finished, we returned to the regular AH office. Still, there was nobody around.

"So, uh, what should I do?" I asked, completely awestruck by the fact that I was here, in their actual office.

"Oh, I was just gonna record one of the achievement guides I do. Care to join me?" He asked. Again, I nodded. He began to show me how to work all of the equipment, everything from the video recording equipment, to the mics. Finally we had everything set up, and it was time to help with an achievement guide.

I was honestly nervous. I was afraid i'd screw something up. It wasn't like I hadn't made videos like this before, that's how I got this job, it's just that it had been several months since I sold all my equipment, and I didn't know if I was still capable of it. I took a deep breath and mentally prepared myself. Ray started the recording, and we started reading off the script.

"Hello guys, this is Ray from Achievement Hunter, and I'm here with our new friend Logan, say hello?"

"Hey guys, it's me! My first real video, we'll see how it goes, huh."

We rattled off the script, adding some side commentary on it. I didn't talk a whole lot, but I wasn't silent either. Once we had finished, I felt accomplished.

"Not bad, for your first recording here." he said as we were cleaning things up a little bit.

I smiled at him. "Thanks, you too."

The instant I said this, I regretted it. It was one of those times where I didnt mean for it to come out like that, and it didn't really make any sense in context.

Ray then sent me to go make like a 100 copies of something for him. I looked down at the paper, and it was just a picture of the AH team. Whatever

Why the hell he wanted so many copies of this one fucking page, I had no idea. But, it literally took three and a half hours, and the copier jammed and overheated a total of seventeen different times.
