Quickie notes before I scamper off to work

[annathepiper]

So, first day at the new job went quietly; I spent most of it filling out forms and learning where all the relevant info-type pages are on the intranet. I have a small, open workspace, since the place is laid out to facilitate quick communication between everybody. Not even a real cube, really, just a workspace. That's okay. Less space wherein I can leave stuff lying around is probably a good idea.

Teammates took me to lunch at a place called the Shanty, just across the street. That was also nice. Today should be participating in daily meetings now and starting to get filled in on what I need to be doing. Hopefully also, more hardware.

Those of you who typically see me on the MurkMUSH or on the MOO may see less of me during the day as I'll be trying to minimize my Internet usage at the new place; you'll just have to wait to yak at me online. Send me email if you don't see me, and if there's something I just cannot wait to know! ;)

On the way into work I listened to Heather Dale's CD The Gabriel Hounds, a gift to me from damara. Note to her: THANK YOU. I really, really liked this disc. Dale's voice is very clear and pure, and there's a great range of styles on the album from sweet and open to gritty and powerful. I need to take another pass through it and tag all the songs I'll want to put ratings on. And appreciate the flutework as well.

So thank you, damara, for that; that was a very nice way to get into my first day on the new job.

Given that it's an extreme environment, I'm half shocked you're not sharing a desk with someone. :-)

So am I! But the work area is actually very nice. Good spacing between everybody's individual spaces, and the chairs are super-comfy!

Yay for new jobs! Hope things go well. ~snickers over the Shanty~ See any lost Newfoundlanders wandering around there? :D

Thanks! Day 2 was pretty good as well, and yeah, I keep muttering "WELL GENERAL TAYLOR HE GAINED THE DAY" every time I see the Shanty's sign. ;D I may well have to relay this to local GBS fandom if they don't know about the place already!
