Day 1 – Candy store
Today was my first day at my new job. Lots of new hire type work for the day, lots of forms to fill out and documents to read. It was really too much for my brain during that time so it rebelled and started to hurt at 2pm. However it got better because that was when the toys began to arrive. First it was the laptop, Thinkpad T43, not shabby(but not super new either), its much lighter than my last work laptop(my back is happy again) and a bit faster. Then a couple hours later came two(yes 2) Dell 24″ widescreen monitors(I drooled a little) and to complete it a new workstation with a video card to drive both of those beasts at once. A fun day for me, toys toys toys.
It looks like this is going to be a fun job(not just based on the toy count) and keep me busy while I’m there.
