hel_anaWell, day one is over, and other than not yet having a network ID yet, it went very well. (The *one* IT guy was sick.)
We're up on the third floor, and the printer is on the second, which means excercise for me! There is an elevator, but I want people to kick my ass if I take it instead of the stairs.
It was a fairly mellow day -- settling in, meeting people, going through the style guide and policies and proceedures. I went for lunch with the other tech writer contractor. She was incredibly helpful all day.
The wierd thing is that every office (I don't have an office, I have a cube) has a television with digital cable. So the receptionist watches soaps all afternoon behind the reception desk. Now, I will grant that most of the other offices I was in either had the TV off or had it tuned to the news. But still, it was odd.
We share the third floor with the third-level support people. They're behind a locked door, to which we don't have a key. But there is a shower in our floor's bathroom. Given that there are only 2 of us who seem to use it, that's a pretty good deal.
All in all, a good start -- I even got there a bit early.
Also, in another positive development, I picked up my new meds -- my new doctor was willing to keep my on the Cytomel, and raise my levothyroxine dosage. Goodbye, hypo sympoms! Hello functional on <=8 hours of sleep me.

Date: 2004-09-28 07:01 pm (UTC)We have a TV right above my cubicle. I hate it. We are supposed to turn it on and keep CNN or CNN Finance on it. I never do. It annoys me. We only recently had it on the Weather Channel for obvious purposes.
The only channels it gets are financial channels, discovery channel, fox news, weather, the game show network (I have no idea why) and I forgot the others. Nothing too exciting (except Discovery).
Anyway, I am glad all went well today and yay for better meds!
