first day - mission complete!

So everything ended up going quite well today. i got a wake up call at around 9, got up and started getting myself into work mode, and then lydia came to my apartment complete with briefcase and 'briefing' material. She said 'Blake you look like you know what you're doing, so i'll get straight to the point. Head over to the cafe marked on your map, and meet up with Yoko. She'll give you a backpack which you will then take over to your first contact, Mr B. Tell him Lydia sent you and everything should go perfectly. Are we good?'

We were good.

Yoko was so beautiful it was stupid. She had shoulder length black hair and she wore cool sunglasses and a cool dress and she had this 'i don't care about you in the slightest' attitude that had her looking not unlike an action movie star. I bet if gangsters busted in while she was giving me my backpack she would have just killed them all in a ruthlessly efficient fashion without losing her sunglasses or looking even remotely bothered by it.

At least that's the way she struck me anyway. I would like to see her again some time.

Mr B invited me in for coffee and when i sat down he said 'is it a bomb?' and i said 'don't think so' and he waited for me to take a sip of coffee and then said 'it's poisoned. I have an antidote. Is it a bomb?' and i said 'don't think so,' and he offered me a biscuit and when i ate it he said 'two different poisons now course through your body. I have the antidote. Is it a bomb?' and i said 'i really don't think so' and he said 'damn. You're good. Alright so there's no poison, you win. you win, mystery man...'

Then we talked about the music we had been listening to and the television we had been watching.

Lydia said that my first day had gone really well, and the work should just keep flowing on at this rate. She said that although it is all delivery work, sometimes the way deliveries are done will be very different so i should stay alert and ready at all times. She also said sometimes i will be called upon to work evenings, but usually i will get good notice before that happens.

Ah, after such a successful first day it is all one can do to put their feet up and have a beer and listen to some music. It doesn't look as though i have any work tomorrow so i think i will hit the gym and then check the message board in the lobby.

Blake out.
