2) Surf the internet until the IT police come find you, so you know where the limits REALLY are for next time.
3) Look for all the best places to: a) take a nap, b) hide from your boss, c) pretend to look busy without actually doing anything, and d) take a nap (it's important enough to state twice).
4) Learn where every restroom is, what it's capacity is, and who uses what pot in each. I don't know about you, but a thin piece of paper just isn't enough protection against...
5) Start a rumor.
6) Organize your desk with everything at perfect 90 degree angles. Let your coworkers see you measuring it.
7) Adjust the volume on your computer speakers so everyone in your area can hear the audio from the youtube video you're watching.
8) Laugh uncontrollably loud at said video, then snort.
9) Find out what "Format C:" does to a network drive, and why IT allowed you security permissions to do it.
10) Download and install all your favorite file sharing apps to utilize the company's T3 connection: Napster, iTunes, streaming audio, bitTorrent, etc.
And finally, update your resume.

Look at everyone else's screen savers and if they are corporate or Windows ditto as above.
By the way, many a true word is spoken in jest.
It is important to learn the environment you will be working in.
Look for the clues.
Get to know your co-workers and let them get to know you.

Don't be late those first ten days. Otherwise they'll be looking for you to be late the rest of your time there.
Set up your voicemail. Set up dentist, doctor, and vision appointments with your new insurance.
Start the business card printing process.
Make sure all the department software is on your computer. Check with coworkers if there are programs they use that you don't have yet. Also if there are websites that are useful, and if there are permissions or passwords you need to access websites, network drives, etc.
