Well, on my first day at a call - center job, I misdialed a number during training. And instead of realizing it quickly, I started talking to the person on the other end as if it was a customer.

I once started a job at a bakery on my first day. I walked in and the smell of fresh bread was amazing. The owner immediately put me to work kneading dough. I had no idea how hard it was going to be.
