First Few Days at the New Job

Here is a synopsis of my first week so far:

Day 1:

1. 30 minute new hire orientation
2. Interviewed someone
3. Lunch
4. Meeting about internationalization
5. Moved offices. New office is bigger and has better view.

Day 2:

1. Interviewed someone else
2. Reading
3. Got a task to start on
4. Installing lots of crap on my system
5. Someone (The Canadian (tm)) offered to pay my teammate to pinch my ass, but he declined. When I told BC about this later on, he asked if The Canadian (tm) would pay him to pinch my ass. Great boyfriend, eh?

Day 3:

1. Figuring out how to build.
2. Getting the pieces together I need for the task.
3. Reading about the task.

Tomorrow:

1. Company meeting 8:30 - 10:30.
2. Hopefully, followed by adult beverages.
3. Start work my task
4. Meeting about my task

All in all, not too bad so far. And I'm taking Monday off. BC and I are flying out Friday night for our weekend backpacking trip. We are going to the Sawtooths in Idaho. I'd be more specific, but all I saw was the topological map. There will be elevation changes and water. That's all I know. More details when I return. I will get to try my freeze dried lasagna, macaroni and cheese, and pasta primavera. Those should be some good eats! I hope...
