All About Day Two

It was fairly uneventful, as far as Day Twos go, but I'm gonna talk about it anyway.

Yesterday was consumed by orientation stuff, so today was a better indicator of how things are actually going to be. Things are going well, so far. The other writers are really nice and since we're naturally confused by some things, we all did some cube-hopping in efforts to answer each other's questions. Our boss is very helpful and easy to get along with. Most of the people here have quite a few years on me, which I appreciate because there's an extra degree of professionalism about the place... and a lot less dicking around. People show up and do their work. Pretty straightforward.

That's not to say it isn't a pleasant place to work. They give us bagels, fruit, and other tasty stuff. Sodas are only a quarter. The campus is gorgeous with fountains, lush green vegetation, and ample parking. I actually parked right outside my door of choice at quarter to nine. My cube is large and in charge, and since I'm a contract worker, I sit in it a maximum of eight hours a day.

I made a joke in an e-mail to some friends about some of my former co-workers shitting roses now that I'm gone, but it appears as though it is I who am shitting roses! Magnificent! Let's celebrate my lack of stinking shit!

Just kidding. I guess I'm in a silly mood because I'm so happy about how things have turned out. And no, I haven't been smoking any of Larry's wacky tabacky. He needs that for his... um.... insomnia. Yeah.
