Present Day
No one likes the first day of work.
They might say they do, but in reality, it’s the nerves and excitement
getting in the way of the truth.
First days of work blow.
Especially first days of work in a job you don’t want and know nothing
about; a job that required a relocation across the country, and came with
new colleagues you’ve spent fifty percent of your life avoiding.
Yep, I’m the sucker who signed up for that in a moment of
uncharacteristic idiocy.
“Want me to show you the way back down to your office, Doctor
Matthews? Or do you remember?”
“No, I’m good. I remember, thank you. And I have the map.” I tapped
the folder I was carefully holding.
The guy asking was Mike, the head of facilities and security for the
New York Lions. He’d handed me the folder like it contained nuclear
launch codes, when really the only code I’d been given was the one to my
office, along with a list of essential contact details, and a map of the elevenacre New York Lions site.
He’d also peppered me with information, only twenty percent of which
I’d retained – including, luckily, where my office was.
“Good. Make sure you always have your security pass on you. You
won’t be able to get through any door without it. Dial one from the phone
on your desk and it comes straight to me or my office. You have a few days
to settle in; most of the staff in your department tends to travel with the
team so it won’t be too busy down there this week. Not until the boys get
back anyway.”
I smiled and nodded. There was no way he could know quite how
reassuring that news was.
It had only been two days since I’d arrived in New York; my home for
the foreseeable future. And those two days had been spent ricocheting
between varying degrees of annoyance, anger, anxiety, denial, dread, and
excitement; although the excitement element was negligible compared to
the rest of the emotions bouncing around my brain and my belly.
It wasn’t until I remembered that the New York Lions team was on an
away stretch this week, and therefore I wouldn’t be running into anyone I
didn’t want to see, that I finally relaxed enough to take a full breath.
Unfortunately for me that hadn’t been until this morning, while on my way
to The Lions Stadium.
I knew, however, that I only had this week to acclimate myself, because
I would be on the next away stretch.
And all the stretches until the end of the season.
The end couldn’t come soon enough.
I waved goodbye and took off down the corridor toward the
conditioning suites where my new office was based. Mike was right about it
being quiet; I hadn’t seen a single person beyond the security at the
entrance and grounds-men tidying up the outside, tending to the enormous
lion shaped flower beds, and power-hosing the walkways.
