Where is the toilet?

Well done.
Start as you mean to go on.
Turn up late.
Wear T-shirt, jeans and trainers.
Call everyone love or mate or the short/long version of their name depending on which they dont like.
Take a 3 hour lunch.
Turn up in a porsche even if you have to hire it for the day. Screech into the car park and park it across at least 2 parking bays preferablyu including the MDs.

Ooh, ooh could I? I never tried that before, but I am sure i could get the hang of it.

Make friends with the IT/Network support guys.

Find out where the stationary cupboard is and take at least 3 of everything.

Keep the big hole punch on your desk - it's a sure way to meet new people.

Don't agree to anything before you know what the implications are.

Congratulations, BTW.
