Various things I am loving about the new job:

• My phone never rings
• They provide free fruit almost every morning
• They are very big on recognizing/thanking/rewarding people publicly...and sincerely...which is a wonderful change from the old place
• I can look straight out the window and see downtown Seattle, and watch the monorail whiz by on its way to the Space Needle
• My new keyboard has a quick button to launch the calculator
• The CEO wants to meet with every single new hire after they start just to get to know them (mine is tomorrow)
• The developers put easter eggs on zaaz.com...so if you enter their names in the search box, it gets all sorts of retarded (try "Jud" and "Graeme" for funsies)
• I am going to get so good at Excel, that I will be able to pivot-table the shit out of anyone

Various things I am not loving about the new job:

• In addition to the fruit, they provide free candy all the time, which I keep eating
• I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing
• Slow internet
• I kinda miss driving to work a teeny tiny bit, only because I miss all the singing in the car
• The N key on my keyboard sticks really bad
• From November 5-9, I have to do the dishes
