It was another long, tiring day at the roblox office. The new employ, Steve, Rocked back in his chair, and thought to himself. He thought about how he had been unemployed for the last six months, and how lucky he had been to be accepted by Roblox.
After all, he had a family. A wife, and three kids, all under the age of 10. He wondered how long he could keep this job, because obviously, he didn't know how to do anything. He couldn't program, he couldn't build. Everyone told David and Erik, the founders of roblox, about his work ethics.
And yet, there was one person who stuck up for him. Steve had no idea why, since it was pretty obvious to his fellow co-workers, and just about everyone who worked there, that Steve was a pretty useless addition to the Roblox staff.
Normally, Steve wouldn't put himself through this. Steve was a quiet, shy guy, of 32, and hated sympathy from other's more then just about anything. And yet, he is quite thankful for the sympathy he's getting now, from but 1 loan worker. |

Steve needed money, and fast. Frantic, he looked through job articles and the like for weeks, but found nothing.
His son, Jimmy, played and Enjoyed Roblox everyday. It never occured to him that Jimmy played this game, but one day, at breakfast, Steve was looking through a list of jobs, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the roblox logo on his sons computer. |

Steve immidiately asked his son what Roblox was, and, happy with himself, applied for a job for Roblox, a programmer to be exact, and got accepted after an interview.
On steve's first day on the job, he had no idea what to expect. He didn't even know how to work a computer, let alone program an online game. But, determined, he decided to try, and worse come to worse, get fired.

When steve first arrived at his job, he looked up, and saw the huge hq glimmering in the distance. He knew this was Roblox hq.
When he got inside, and got himself situated, One of the fellow programmers showed him around, and led him to his cubicle. He was given a pencil, paper, and, of course, his very own computer.
Steve looked at his computer, and didn't have the slightest clue on how to turn it on. Nervously, he took a look around, and decided to exam his computer to try and find the power button. |

10 mintues past, then 20, finally, a full half hour passed, and a worried Steve still didn't figure out how to work his computer.
Steve then noticed John walk torwards him, and he got incredibly nervous.
" How's the scripting coming along? " John said
" It's going, all right " Steve said with a fake smile.
" It might help.. " John clicked on the computer on " if it was turned on " said a slightly irritated John.
" I know, I was having computer errors, and I decided to shut it down, and turn it back on " Steve said nervously. He was never a good liar. |

" uh-huh " John said. " Well, if you need anymore help, just ask one of the employs here. "
And with that, John walked away. Steve was deeply embarassed, but he was glad his computer was actually on. He sat back into his seat, and looked at the screen.
A bright windows 2000 flicked on the screen, and, even though Steve didn't know anything about computers, he knew the year was 2012, so he figured the program was quite outdated.
" Ok, lets get this baby running " Steve muttered to himself. After going through several welcome screens, Steve was prompted to a screen, telling him to pick a user. Steve chose the only one, and was taken to the home screen. |

After taken to the welcome screen, he was stuck after that. He had no idea how to get past this screen, and he was afraid of being fired if he asked such a dumb question to one of the programmers.
Steve glanced at the time. He still had 6 more hours of work. He couldn't do a day, yet alone a couple of years. Steve started to get frantic, and looked around at his surroundings. The cubicle next to him belonged to some guy with dark hair.
He thought about asking him for help, but, after going through that idea, he decided not to. He couldn't risk it.
And what would his son say if he got fired from Roblox the very first day? His son looked like he was given a million dollars when he heard his father was going to work at Roblox. |

He looked from cubicle from cubicle, and found each programmer, typing on his or her computer, and figuring out lines of code.
He decided to pretend to do something, so he pressed a random letter, and a the command bar popped up. Under it was a file named Filemesh.exe.
" Weird.. I wonder what a mesh is... " Steve said to himself.
Just then, a tall guy, looked like he was heading torward him. Steve quickly exited from the command prompt, and began typing a bunch of keys at once.
" So, what have you done so far..? " The stranger asked polietely |

" You know... p-p- programmed " Steve stuttered nervously.
" Well, let me see your work " The stranger insisted.
The stranger stared blankly into the screen, and his emotion turned from polite, to angry.
" You mean to tell me you did nothing this whole time? You haven't even started on the project I told you to work on? " The stranger billowed.
The other employs stopped and starred at Steve. Steve didn't know what to say, so he just looked down.
" Oh, wait until I tell David about this! " and, like that, the stranger trailed off. |
