First Day on the Job
As you probably know, today was my first day at a new company. Being a verteran of first days I can tell you this was a pretty good day. Some companies make me setup my own computer, which is usually a big hassle. Today my computer was already setup and ready for me to work. Some companies don't introduce you to the company. Today I met about 60 people. I can only remember 3. It really takes me 12 times to hear your name until I can get to know you. It is definately a corporate environment. I'm used to the off-the-cuff up style of small companies (by not really knowing what is going on). I got there a little late, because traffic is now thicker. It took me 45 minutes in rush hour(what fun!) Everyone is nice. However, this job is an exact duplicate of the job in "Office Space" complete with a person who plays the radio during certain times of day. What is sad is I may actually be Lumburgh. I walked into a cube today and said "What's happenin, hey can I get that requirements doc from you, that'd be great" Egad, all I need to do is to start drinking coffee and my life will be complete.
Thought of the day
Bill Lumbergh: Milt, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?
Milton Waddams: Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler...
