First day special

Yesterday I attended a program about Ten commandments to follow to make the first day of an employee in an organization a memorable one. The program started at evening 6 and the speaker's booming voice woke everyone of us who were comfortably sleeping after a long day in class.

"So how would you like your first day of your first job to be?" the speaker asked.
Not many hands rose for everyone in hall either still managed to sleep or were thinking of a proper answer. Finally one girl rose to the relief of everyone else(for they can now go back to sleep).She replied " I would like to enter my office to a round of applause and it would be great if they introduce me like very intelligent person joining us... great honor n bla bla" The audi broke into laughter and everybody was now awake imagining their would be first day in their first job.I thought of something like wonderful office, all smiling staff, a great infrastructure and finding an old friend working there and a HOT BOSS!!! The speaker's voice cut me across from taking my imagination any step further(I had a vague image of how HOT my boss would be!!)
He then showed a video which was all about the checkpoints to make a memorable first day(an employer's perspective).Everybody settled back to continue their nap. The blissful period lasted only for 20 minutes:( The speaker(a approx 40 odd yr old bald man who has about 15 years of industry experience. He had so far switched about 7 jobs)then reminisced about his first day- the reason why I am writing this post.
His first day was whacky I guess. He had joined an Ad company early 1950s and they had welcomed him cordially. He was asked to remove his shoes outside the office and was ordered to offer prayers to the "creative" department. When he came out after offering prayers, the shoes were stuck to the ground(??!!). After a struggle to remove, he had escaped to the restroom where he had the biggest dilemma he had ever faced in his life. The restroom doors were labelled "THEM" and "THOSE" instead of "GENTS" and "LADIES"!!!!!!! Well yeah. I never found out if he managed to get into the right room. :p

A year later, when he was in the team to welcome freshers, they had gotten even more creative and had designed fake food coupons of OBEROI hotel(early days when photoshop was first introduced). The appaavi freshers had taken those coupons to the hotel and what was more weird was that the hotel had even accepted them. WOW!! (of course this company's manager had immediately called up the hotel and apologised and asked them not to accept these vouchers!*sigh*)
What a day those freshers would have had!! I personally prefer that "them & those" idea better..!! :)

So first day in the office, I now wish, that it is something whacky like this instead of a boring or over sweet introductions but i doubt if any corporate will ever take time to make any first day of any employee memorable. So much for the program I attended!

If u have patiently read this post I would appreciate if u can share your first day experience or your dream first day with me.. :)

PS: I would also appreciate if someone can enlighten me about that "them" and "those". It would be highly helpful for my future reference!!
