This new job has gotten me so exhausted, I’ve neglected my blog! You’d think in the first week of work I’d actually be bored as I know no one and haven’t a clue how to do anything. Well in fact, I’ve been busy, doing some work, learning a lot and my commute is tiring! Here is an overview of my first week…
3 days in and I ♥…
-
the welcome sign they made for me at reception
-
the cooler full of *free* pop & juice. FREE!
-
the people, they are super friendly and welcoming
-
the downtown neighbourhood; from Surrey to Downtown..woohoo I’m moving UP!
-
my desk, it’s huge
-
my LCD monitor, it’s one of those widescreen types
-
the Company itself, very impressive
-
the software; all of it – the stuff we sell right to the employee Intranet
-
the free full use in building gym. I’m gonna get skinny!
The stuff that could be better..
-
The commute. 1/2 hr to work 1 hour home about the same as driving from Kits to Bby
-
The bus. I have a car! I like driving! Boooo
-
Paying for the bus pass. $73.00 freakin’ dollars a month!
-
Expensive cafe’s downtown. I’ll be brown baggin’ it!
-
My 100 year old Blackberry I was issued; I miss my BB Pearl
-
Longer work days. New regulation – work 8 hours with no paid lunch
-
Parking is costly, which is no surprise to anyone
So all in all, I’m happy with my new move. I do miss my Family at TIO though.
