First day
The sun was up when I stepped out of the shuttle service vehicle. It was my first day at work; I was early; things were looking up.
After less than a month of applying for this new job, taking the exams-and-interviews route, and actually getting it, I've finally made it here.
My contract terms-of-reference include management of several servers, maintenance of a website, evaluation of open source content management systems, and the eventual redesign of the corporate intranet. (The pay was less than what I expected, but to be fair, I'd go for this one because of several other factors other than compensation.)
So I tucked in to my cubicle -- sheesh! after copious readings of Dilbert, I end up cooped in one! -- and set up my workstation. Nothing much: it's got Windows XP on a Pentium 4 with 1GB memory and a 40GB hard disk. Will have to repartition the hard disk and install Linux for dual boot. (I miss my Compaq Evo desktop with a TFT monitor, though.)
Alrighty then: everything is in place. Off I go.
