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. :-)

Congrats. I heard a bit about the whole process from rfrench who basically stood us up for lunch because he was on the cell phone with some person from CA about some decision she had to make.

As I told Rob, I've got a little experience in some of the stuff you may be doing, so feel free to call/write & pick my brain or even just ask stupid stuff.

*chuckles* Yeah, I felt bad about the timing of that call! Rob clearly bailed out of the lunch line to go radiate calm at me over the phone.

I would love to ask a lot of stupid stuff. I am completely starting from scratch on this one! Can I take you to lunch and ask questions so continuously that you can hardly eat? :-)

Sure. This week doesn't work for me -- we're flying up to Ashland by way of Chico on Thurs, coming back Fri afternoon, but next week is open on Mon & Weds, and Tues would work as well except for I might not have a car.

I'll take next Monday for fifty, Bob. Thanks! What's your favorite south-bay-ish place to have lunch? :)

I'm pretty flexible. Call me Monday morning (either cell or home) and we can figure out what works.
