New Office

I’m pleased to say that the first day in the new place went OK. It was surprisingly organised – although some of that is due to the fact I’m inheriting a set-up and role from someone else – and everything seems to be pretty much in place.

The working set-up I’ve got is insane (in a good way) in that I’ve now got two computers (a Windows box and a Linux box) to play with, and three widescreen monitors.  I don’t actually need all three, one per computer would be fine, but my predecessor had deemed it essential, so *shrug*, OK.

I’m still getting some bits set up – test servers etc. – but I’m getting there, and we’re doing OK.

In addition I’ve already had the induction gubbins, met the directors, and all that jazz. In my last permanent role, I’d been in the job about four months before we did the full induction thing.

So all told, not a bad start. Be interesting to see how it works out from there/here.
