Starting up.
Thursday, July 12, 2007So the new job has begun. I had my first day yesterday! They had a fun "Welcome 'Chief Slacker'" poster in my cube and they even had a party and cake!
Ok, ok, the party cake was actually for completing some milestone on the newest project, but I'm going to live in my fun little slackerly fantasy world and think it was for me. yup.
Anyway, like pretty much every job I've gotten the computer wasn't ready so currently I'm using somone's backup computer and a tiny little monitor they pilfered from the admin who's on vacation. The first day I had to work under a coworkers login since my network stuff hadn't been setup. I even had to create a hotmail account to use as a temporary email.
Like a good slacker, I got zero actual work done the first day. I started at 9, and after all the tuors and intros it was 11. I read some stuff till lunch, had some Buffalo Wild Wings, then came back just in time for a milestone party. Finished the day with a seminar on the new product we're working on. Gotta love first days.
Today's been more productive though I'm outtie in a little bit to go play some kickball! It's playoffs and my team's not getting a bye, so wish Team Recess some luck would ya?
Anyway, back to the slackin!

Welcome back (again).
As the guy who gets computers ready for the new guys (or fails to do so), let me tell you it's usually because we don't find out until you're actually in the office.
