You'll do great! Make sure you break something on your first day! It'll make for a good story later.

Uh...thanks, I think...

The bad thing about breaking things there is that they are customer systems, not company systems. Gonna take me awhile to wrap my head around that...can't just swap parts out if something goes wrong, as a general rule.

Heh...my first job out of college I worked as a lab assistant for a consulting engineering firm (I've got stories about collecing outflow samples that you just don't want to hear.)

I left just before I was eligible for vacation time, so I didn't get that week's pay. I joked that I'd just break it in lab glassware.

When I (accidentally, I swear) broke a $300 piece of equipment, I pretty well had that covered.
