First week of work
Mood:  happy
Topic: Work/School
Where does the time go? Hard to believe it's almost the end of my first week of work! My first day consisted of an orientation for all new hires, lots of good info about the company's history, details about our pay and benefits, and of course filling out paperwork and getting our security badges (to let us into the parking lots and buildings).

Now I'm in the midst of learning brand new stuff: Oracle and PL/SQL. I've never used Oracle in my life, and only know a tiny bit of SQL, so I've got quite a learning curve ahead of me.

I got the chance to drive around the area a little bit, to familiarize myself with what's nearby. After going past what seemed like miles of nothing but corporate buildings and business parks, with nary a shopping center in sight, I finally stumbled upon the shopping center that had Target and a handful of eateries. Thank goodness... I was almost about ready to call Ingrid, who's from the area, for help and directions! :-D

I've got a pretty good routine so far-- in by 9:00am, out by 6:00pm. That way I avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic, and it takes me less than an hour each way. Then home by around 7:00pm to play with Todd! :-) It's fun to come home to, and a nice way to end the day :-)

Well, not much news aside from that. Work is, well... it's work :) Programming is programming, after all ;-)
