Work work work.. like a Peon

Within the first hour of my first day at my job, I was inundated with a deluge of instructions and work which essentially consisted clockwork accounting. The work was as mundane and meaningless as screwing caps on toothpaste tubes for a living. Even though the process was simpl, it demanded a sustained high-level of concentration and spared no room for the slightest of errors. This made me resort to cheating by exploiting some mathematics in which I calculated the results and then tailored my findings(which I never found haha) to them a la solving a 'Trigonometry Proving Question' by working backwards in simplifying and later loosely linking your findings to the otherside of the equation. Yahoo! My boss, who is King's College London 1st Class grad, incredulously bought my bullshit! Okay, I shan't push my luck any further. In spite of being charged with 3 hours of sleep, I combatted the lasting drowsiness as well as my high inertia of slothfulness cultured over a lifetime manageably(there's no such word btw). Well, at least the generally pleasant working environment(generously helpful colleagues) tied in with a handsome paycheck and many a view of the ubiquitous sashaying stewardess trainees(poultry) constitute the upside ,which I feel just fairly outweighs my toil.
