Find the nearest shag-house first.

Don't punch anyone in the face. They don't like it.

Seriously though, as has been said, the links on the right are well worth reading.

LOL !!

I have already found the nearest subway :P can't be going in on the first day without a full tummy

The Greggs £2 bacon roll (barm) and a coffee deal is hard to beat.

Open up Terminal, connect to a server, type 'tail -f /var/adm/messages' and stare at it nodding disapprovingly/approvingly at it every so often, install 'poo-timer', check out the totty, determine which trap in the bogs has the best wifi/3g connectivity, check if the toilet seat/bowl shape is suitable for wanking whilst sitting, check said bogs for 'Bob bogies' on the walls and footmarks combined with tulipt-stains on the seats.

Scope the newest boozer/Greggs/Subway/BrewDog, seek out a kindred spirit in the office and main with him/her/it, and that's it!

Pro tip: Learn all you need to know at least 6 months before your first day. Sorry, you missed the boat.

Seriously, there are so many tips, you need to start at the links on the right and work your way through the whole lot

And good luck.
