Monday morning at the new job

[cjsmith]

Signed forms, have temporary desk (cubes being built out now for tomorrow), received card key, attended first meeting, am now browsing lots of overview material on the design and implementation of the product. Previous entry is public now.

I'm actually getting excited. Usually I'm just feeling "OK, here's a job, hop to it." Now I'm feeling "Hey, cool and fun!" It's eerie. I hope it lasts. :-)

Real Startups Don't Have Cubes...Ready

[psi-star-psi.livejournal.com]

I'm certain you recall the story of the freak who showed up at Spice on a Monday morning about 10am, saw that his workstation was set up and his cube was supplied, and immediately resigned. "You all are too organized to be a real start-up," or similar nonsense. I'd make fun of him being named for a plant, but that's just crass. Deserved, maybe, but crass.

It's good to see that you are working for a real start-up!

Oh yes, I remember him! We also wanted him to do things like work on a team, and he simply wasn't prepared to cope. Poor guy. He'd have hated it if he stayed, so I guess it's best for all that he walked out on the spot.
