The New Job So Far

As most of you know, I have started my new job this week and thought you may be interested in a quick review. I went in on Wednesday a little nervous and really wanting to make a good first impression. The building is simply amazing and really stood out as a symbol of previous successes. I met up with my new boss, Chris and we went on the grand tour. I have, at my disposal, a full food court/cafeteria, a 4 and a 10 mile running path out the back of the building along with full locker rooms, and a bunch of small shops to buy coffee or tea or water. Then, we started training. Wow. I was absolutely bombarded with information that sounded like Chinese. I sat in meetings with a few people while being instructed on how to manage large scale projects for Verizon Wireless. By the end of the first day, I was completely brain dead and worried that I would never ever be able to catch up. My mind was set at ease when my boss told me that it would take 6 months to really get comfortable. My second day was much easier as I actually retained a lot of information from day one. I am going forward with high hopes and going to keep an open mind with the new info I am fed. Stay tuned and I will keep you all posted. Have a great weekend.
