Steve's First Day

So I'm sure you're all wondering how Steve is doing at Amazon. Well, so far he's nervous, of course, but likes it. He has a really great team and shares an office with a nice guy. However, we seem to have a little bad luck around here...
On his first day, they had an orientation for all the new guys. They talked about benefits, etc. and finally gave a little talk about making good first impressions, as the newbies were about to meet their bosses and teams. The guy next to Steve was drinking a large glass of water...
... so naturally, when the bosses walked in, the guy accidentally spilled it all over Steve... in a very bad place. Steve claimed it was so perfect, he would not have believed the truth unless it had actually happened to him. He was completely embarrassed, but had to just hide it the best he could. Poor Steve! Things always happen to him!
But he's a great sport and now we get to laugh about one of the worst first days ever!
