This is my best 'first day at work' story. There was this company that really badly needed some ops help as they had some major projects on the go and really needed some help. Alas, my girlfriend was extremely pregnant, so I kept pushing my start date back and back. Meanwhile, my child just flat out refused to be born. We went to the hospital several times, but whenever we got there, the contractions would flat out stop. Eventually, I had to start. A couple of hours in, I was setting up my dev environment with some serious first day jitters, and I got a phone call. I remember standing up, putting my hands over my mouth and not being able to move. I was completely screwed and couldn't figure out what the heck to do. My boss had to tell me to go, get in my car and go. And, I drove at speeds so obscene that they likely would have lead to my arrest. Eighteen hours later, my daughter was born.
