Don't be arrogant, there will be people there who've been doing their job for 10/20 years, and won't appreciate some kid after 2 days questioning what they do (even if you think they're useless and doing everything wrong) Ask questions, and listen to the replies. Try and look enthusiastic, even if you have the "Charlton 4-0 and down to 10 men" feeling. Generally laugh at office humour rather than trying to be the life and soul of the party, but the odd witty contribution will be good as well, to show people you're not completely boring Don't spend ages on personal phone calls, as other people will find it annoying! Don't get into a fight at the Christmas party...(not me I hasten to add)
Make sure you don't let your receipts end up as a claim for expenses that I pay through my taxes. Make your own sarnies and ride a bike to work and refuse to attend any event with outside catering. Anyway shouldn't you be doing this as an unpaid intern?
Be early, but not ridiculously so - say 10/15 mins.
Really hate being late for anything, although however hard I try I never can seem to be late for something...
Means that if there is a rare occasion when your going to be late, they'll just ignore it, and like with me, it became a dept joke when I was late by 15mins once and was so annoyed about it
I read this with the thought of premature ejaculation.
Good luck fella... As Henry said right at the start take every development chance going. Especially as its a one year contract. Brown nose the bosses. You may need their help eventually

On the very first day it is very important to show them you are not going to take their shit so when the boss is getting water at the cooler wait for him to bend over and kick him as hard as you can in the arse make sure the office sees you do it they will have the up most respect for you after. Also it would not hurt to drink a couple of fizzy drinks and rip off one of the loudest tearass farts you can muster they will bow down to you from then on out. As a backup to not being gassy then just wait for them to start eating lunch and just start picking your nose. Good luck and may the job last a lifetime for you, am confident it will.

So you suck off your boss in order to improve your career? You must have no self esteem. Would you approve of your child doing this?
If 'Orange is the New Black' has taught us anything, it's that you shouldn't complain on your first day, especially when you don't know what authority people have.
Otherwise you end up being served a used-tampon-sandwich for lunch.
Be nice to the support staff - receptionists, switchboard, IT and even the security guards. They've got a job to be doing just like you, and can make your life much easier or much harder depending on how willing they are to put themselves out for you.

The rest of your employment there - do what ever the fuck you like.
And don't tell them you are Charlton. Then, when you bunk off to get to an away game they will just think you are ill.
Or insane.
That one phrase has meant I've managed to get away with reading Charlton Life all day whilst still looking good.

PS. Best to say it's a "cousin's wedding" , not a "cousins wedding". You don't want them thinking you're from an inbred family.
