Just finished one week of work, hope I made a good first impression?

So many cute girls at the refinery?if your into women in their 40.  By my count I am the 4^rd asian in the office, and the only asian that is over the height of 5?? when I walk through the finance floors, I feel pretty normal, but when I start trolling the operators floor and such all of a sudden ppl get a lot wider and/or a lot taller.

First day i walk in I go to the weekly Finance dept meeting and they are talking about stress relief and this one lady goes, "I used to be so stressed out from the job, I had headaches and all that, but you know what really worked for me? Retirement" then somebody is like "where can I sign up for that" and im thinking "ohGodwhy"...however, I have never met so many hayren in my life, which im pretty freakin excited about , even going to the ghetto plano schools (or as ghetto as Plano/Richardson can get), there was a lot of diversity, but since I was (mostly) always in the onors?classes and never in athletics I never really had to deal with any of them (not being stereotypical, but thats how it was). But at the refinery, it a whole different story, from the process managers manager to the IT lady to my SAP mom to my supervisor to the communications lady, theres even a huge fei lo guy named "Tiny" who nearly broke my hand when i met him  

It feels like im at church for 9 hours a day, or like im working on the set of eave it to beaver?or something, random people always greet each other in the halls, and actually mean it, people joke around with each other good naturedly, everybody is really helpful and the whole sh-bang.  So even though I feel like work and my responsibilities (all the weekly and bi-monthly reports and daily meetings at obscene hours) are going to do to me what the pros to do the joes on TV, at least everyone is really pleasant and cordial about it.  funny thing is that the machine that CHibong is working on, i also work with a lot, so if we had ended up at the same refinery we coulda worked together

For 19 years I have resisted the Texas twang, but the accent is so thick around work that I know if I work here for 3 years, I am going to come out sounding like Winn Dixie (whom im sure used to be a real personith a crazy southern accentut im not sure if it was a boy or girl).  I think this past week I have given people the impression that I am a hard worker, I usually go in pretty early, and I am usually one of the last ones to leave.  But that just because I have nothing to go home to, whenever the clock hits 5:30 and im like, I need to get home, I think to myself, whats the rush?  Am I really in such a hurry to get back to my 59 degree apt where I can throw my stuff down on the floor, then throw myself onto another part of the floor and watch the wall where a TV isn, or maybe I can cook something with the zero utensils that I have in the one pot that I brought that mocks me because I need a frying pan.  I am really happy that I don have any detergent to go with the scouring pads so I cant wash the plates and cups I don have.  But my tv came in yesterday, and so I can at least play winning and the rest of my stuff should get here in the next week or two so my Boss and supervisor won be so upset at me for sleeping on the floor.  When I mentioned it, kind of in an offhand way, they looked appalled so I didn tell them that I had been sleeping on the floor or on boards for years?.anyways, im just thankful now that I have started working and that im no longer sitting around on my arse, although im sure that in a month im going to wish I was back in school?   

So I am in Austin this weekend me and koller are sitting in the living room and im watching a footy clip called The Epoch of Les Blues [http://footytube.com/]
