Fruit = Good; Candy = Bad
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
