First day at the new job

[Dragon]

Today was my first day at the new job. It seems like a nice place to work for. I got a tour of the place first thing in the morning. I was actually a bit surprised how closely the manufacturing side is to the IT and other "office" departments. After that we spent quite a bit of the day getting my PC setup. I got a nice, clean Windows 7 machine with dual-monitors to do web development on. I started digging into the Yii framework as soon as I could, since that appears to be what I'll be working with with a lot - so I'm pretty excited about expanding my knowledge into a direction that I've been hoping to for a while.

It's unfortunate that I have surgery scheduled within the first two weeks of starting, but the IT manager seems very understanding about it. It really does seem like a very down-to-earth place to work for, with great potential for growth.

So glad to hear it!  Good luck with the surgery.  I hope it goes well.

I hope it provides you steady income and a good work environment.
Glad to hear you're happy so far.

Thanks!

My first week on the job went well. I like the place and my co-workers. I've already been learning some good stuff and I'm very excited about the opportunity to expand my skill set.

The timing for my surgery is kind of good and bad, since it's right near Christmas. I'll need to take a week off work, which kind of sucks to be less than two weeks into a job and already having to take a week off, but due to Christmas and New Years they weren't expected to be big weeks anyway...

That is fortunate!  Enjoy the time off, recuperate and hit it hard next year

Heal fast, New Years is upon us.

 

Hope all goes according to plan and you are in tip top shape soon.
