I don't have much to write tonight, other than I'm tired. Today was my first day at my new job. I dropped Leo off at the vet, drove to HR in New Canaan where I filled out a mountain of paperwork, drove to Norwalk for my mandatory drug test, and then down to Bridgeport to my office. I met about 17 people today and remember maybe four names. (I guess that's not too bad.) Met with my manager; read even more stuff; got my computer, email and voice mail up and running; fought with my desk for a bit trying to lock it; then went home.
So, what are the pros? An hour for lunch (an hour!). Nice kitchen with a toaster oven, among other things. Water cooler. And the best of all? It was QUIET! It's kind of a heads-down atmosphere. Not much chit chat at all, which is fine by me.
The cons? Parking lot gets full fast and it's a bit of a walk. I've done that walk before and it's brutal in the winter. No wifi, which means I can't use the iPad during lunch. No big deal; I have my phone. I'm in a cubicle; no more office. A cube neighbor who likes to bang on her desk a lot. Not sure what all the commotion is about.
I like it though. It seems like a nice place and the people seem nice, too.
Glad you liked it :)
