The First Day of Work

The First Day of Work included the following:

• an introduction to a very small cube with my name on it.

• a jar of fresh flowers from my supervisor's garden.

• a lunch with the co-director, a senior fellow, and my supervisor (where I answered so many questions that I ended up really eating my lunch later).

• an over-whelming amount of information, especially related to the Center's financial reporting.

• a very laid back office climate, where I was helped, but given tons of freedom.

• a friendship forged with the IT guy (very important for work-place success, happiness, and regular software updates).

• and most importantly, a totally "tripped out" phone that makes me feel like I could even call the Almighty.

All in all, a good start.
