my third day of work.

today was really exciting. i learned a lot about what people call "the economy", and it turns out that we're not just whining-- it really is bad! but we can help make it better by offering services to people. seriously, i have no delusions that i'm engaged in a philanthropic mission here, but i do see the potential for us to do some good for some people, or at least to make them happy.

so far, i love being in an office tower, i'm impressed by the people i'm working with, and i like the company culture. can't ask for too much more. it's nice to have pride in where i work, since my former employment location (my room) jsut isn't that nice.

also, i don't want these posts to get too scatalogical, but let's just say i visited the men's room 4 times, and, like many companies these days, i was disappointed in my Q2 results.

my second day of work

CRAP! i forgot to write something on my second day of work. the upshot is that i learned a lot, and that i need some nice, shiny shirts.

my first day of work.

hello. today i started my new job, and here's a list of things that got me excited:

1) security protocols. there's secret, extra-secret, classified encrypted deluxe, and ultra-invisible cipher. soon, i'll learn when to use each one!

2) "the cabin". another employee said he just got back from the cabin on sunday night, so he was wiped out. who knew there was a cabin? i can't wait until i get access.

3) footage of hot air baloons. there was some in the orientation video, and i realized how valuable that footage must be. your average, everyday stock photo or clip won't always cut it, so i'm going to start a business in which i take footage of hot air baloons and set it to inspirational music, like stravinsky's "the rite of spring" or sinead o'connor's "black boys on mopeds". (i'll also have these clips available in "mute".) then, i'll sell them to corporate folk, hot-air afficienados and music fans!

also, i learned a new term: promissory estoppel. and by "learned", i mean that i signed a form agreeing to it without knowing what it means. turns out that it means we both have to keep our promises, which is great. i thought the technical term for that was "promises", though.

i can't wait to go back for my second day of work!
