walbournI'm sitting in my office at Sierra, and I'm still working on getting my machine setup and getting familiar with the corp policies and such. I really need a new chair, a new mouse, and a larger monitor as these temp ones are driving me nuts, but it is nice to have an office again. They apparently have ordered some new machines that should be here in 2 weeks and until then I'm using this one.
Some good things: Payday is every two weeks so I'll have some money before my next month's bills (although my paycheck next week will only cover 3 days). Juice and sodas are free. There is an arcade & pool table and a nice kitchen.
Some not-so-good things: Bi-weekly timesheets--bleh. No long Christmas break.
I'm spending my first day getting development tools installed and "getting familiar with the products" (i.e. installing and playing Hoyle card games).
Update: Well I've signed all the requisite HR paperwork and had a safety training meeting--our safety Nazi is *serious* about her preparations... it makes the Boy Scout in me proud. Had a quick lunch with some of my teammates, but really haven't had much time with any of them as of yet.
Update 2: I now have an id badge--the first time I've ever had one at any job--and a new chair... yeah!
