First day of the new job. First impressions.

The team seems great. Relaxed, knowledgeable and helpful.

The hours are much more sensible than in the previous team. No one was there before 8:30, and by 18:00 most people were leaving. Which is a nice change compared to the 7:30 to 19:00 I’m used to.

The move itself was a shambles… My things, which were supposed to be moved yesterday, weren’t, so I spent the first half of the day with nothing but a desk and a computer. Then the admin team messed up and terminated my account, so I spent the second half of the day with all my stuff but no computer. And no access to any doors – the access pass was also terminated – which was a bit of a bother given that the loos (among other important things) are outside the locked doors. It was like in primary school when you needed to raise your hand and ask the teacher, “May I be excused?”.
