I started my new job today. I was trifle worried all weekend and all the way in because I had a verbal offer with full time training schedule on my answering machine, and had completed the online security form that constituted accepting the offer, but I hadn't received a start package with written confirmation yet. So big sigh of relief when I made it through security and reached the training room where there was a seat with my name assigned. 
We got out early, so I had time to get to the post office and there was my start package.
The start letter had the wrong training schedule in it. if I'd gotten the package on Friday on my way to work, or on Saturday, I would not have shown up to my orientation!!!!!
On the one hand, I can see them getting confused, since I'm hired part time to work evening shift, but was put in the full time, daytime training schedule while they are concurrently running a part time evening training session!
On the other hand, the last time I worked there they changed the training schedule between the time of my interview and when we started, from 4/hours day for 6 weeks to 6 hours/day for 4 weeks -- and left the new schedule out of my letter and one other new employee's letter. This had a major negative impact for *both* of us and since the start letters were identical, there was no ready excuse for how a paragraph simply disappeared without someone having removed it. 
Anyway, this time around mercury's retrograde prevented me from receiving my start package in time to miss my 1st day of training! So if somebody was trying to sabotage me, she was the one by mercury, not me!
