The promotion~ Janiel

9 to 5

Joey's POV
"Ringgg!! Ringgg!!" Ughh it's time to get up for my new job, which I don't want to go to. I moved here to LA about a month ago, all alone with only a few belongings. For about a week or two I lived in a motel and I didn't have a lot of money, so it was one of those crusty ones. But now I'm living with my friend Britney. I found out she was living here, so I decided to call her and before you know it we become roommates.
"Joey, you're gonna be late on your first day!", I hear Britney yell from downstairs.
I slowly got out of bed and got a shower. I turned on the water and the was no hot water!! I kept trying to get it to hot, but there wasn't any coming out. So, I had to take a cold shower. I got in and it felt like pins and needles were stabbing me. I quickly washed up and got out. What a great way to start off my day. I dried off and got dressed. I chose a white shirt, a black blazer vest, some black skinny jeans, and some nice black shoes. You could easily see the outline of my butt. I love my butt, so I didn't mind it much. I walk down stairs and try to sneak past Britney, because she gonna make it all a big deal. It's just a job, I don't see the big deal. I made it to the door and I was about to walk out the door, but she caught me.
   B: "Joey! Wait up!"
   J:"I'm going to be late!",I say sarcastically
   B:"Don't mock me bitch! But anyways have a great day and I want to hear all about it when you get home!"
   J:"Okay mom!"
  She pinches my cheeks and I get in my car. While on the way I listen to Panic! At the Disco. I love their music. After 3 songs I end up at my new job. It is a huge building and I work on the 43rd floor. I'm the file manager because I'm too stupid for the other jobs. I hate my learning disability. Why did I have to eat those paint chips when I was a baby? I hated those SPED classes and I finally got out of them in 7th grade, but I still struggle with it. I park my car and walk into the building. A few minutes later I am on the 43rd floor. I walk off the elevator without paying attention. All of a sudden I run into somebody.
   "I'm so sorry", I say looking down.
   "Don't worry about it, Mr. Graceffa.", a masculine voice says.
   "How did you...", I look up and realize it's Mr. Preda, my boss.
   "I have my way of knowing things", he says while winking at me. I start to blush.
   "Well it was nice running into you Mr. Preda, literally.", I say smiling.
"Nice running into you too, Mr. Graceffa.", he says smiling.
I started to get to lost in his emerald eyes. They were dreamy, but also with a sharpness to them. I was broke out of my daze when he started to walk off. Well the boss probably thinks I'm a weirdo. I go to the filing room and start my day. Waiting there for me is a blonde lady, that I don't know. She smiles and I smile back.
"Hi, Joey, I'm Hope. I'll be showing you around today and helping you with the files for the next few days."
"Hi, Hope. That would be great. What is your job?", I ask curiously
"I'm Mr. Preda's assistant and don't believe those rumors, he's a pretty nice guy."
"What rumors?", I ask curiously again.
"Oh it's rumored that he sleeps with the newbies, and then fires them, but it's not true. He's too professional.", She says smiling.
I just nod my head. I wouldn't mind if he fucked me. He's so sexy. Did I just think that? No, Joey you didn't. You couldn't have, you're straight. I thought to myself.
"Well should we get started?", Hope asks.
"Sure!", I say smiling.
She leads me through the filing room showing me where everything goes and of course I forgot it. Then she led through the cubicle area introducing me to everybody. Most of them just wave or don't even acknowledge that I exist, but one lady did. Her name is Whitney.
"Hi, Joey! Nice to meet you! My name is Whitney. We are so glad to have you here at Global insurance!", she tries to say that with enthusiasm, but you can tell she hates it here. It seems like everybody hates it here.
"Hi, Whitney! I'm glad to be here too.", I say also trying to sound enthusiastic.
She smiles and Hope leads me to the coffee room.
"Hey, Hope why does everybody seem like they hate it here?", I ask
"To be honest it's because they do hate here. The owners put strict rules and it's a 9to5 Job. (If you get that reference then I love you.) Plus, everybody thinks the boss, Mr. Preda is scum, but he's not. He s just following guidelines. And trust me this place might seem like the work off of the movie 9 to 5, but mostly it's not."
"Oh, okay.", I say kinda not believing her.
  The tour ended and it was time to go back to the filing room. For the rest of the day she helped me figure out the filing process and by the end of the day my head was spinning. "Well it's 4:55 and we clock out at 5. I'll see you tomorrow Joey."
"Okay, bye Hope."
I decided to stay after a little to finish some of the work I was doing.
A little bit later-Joey's POV
I finish the work I was doing and start to clock out, but right as I was about to clock out Mr. Preda stops me.
"Can I see you in my office for a minute, please Mr. Graceffa."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
What could he possibly want? Am in trouble on my first day?
