End of 1st Week...

Sometimes training for a new job can be a bit overwhelming.  The training for this new job is no exception!  The first day of work I was in Austin by 8 am... nothing says long day like getting up at 4 am and driving 85 miles one way to work!  But I got there and everything went fine.  I actually left work on Monday with, you won't believe this, a box full of things to move into my new office with!  I was given several pieces of electronic components that I have to become familiar with and will be using extensively in this job; this includes a cell phone, digital camera and a tablet/pc. And I was given 2 packets of paperwork that included pre-training training and training exercises.  Wow.
On Tuesday and through the rest of the week, I was in my Home Office and found out that I will have my own office.  The people that I am working with now were super welcoming, even decorating my office.  If you have ever started a new job, you can probably guess how seeing your office decorated and welcoming makes you feel.  I don't think I have ever experienced a more welcoming experience. The rest of the week was full of new situations, watching, taking mental notes and helping when there was something simple that I could do to help someone.  Based on this first week, which I have been told was a crazy week and very rare, I think I am going to like my new job.  Perhaps the only thing I may have to get used to is driving 30 miles to and from work, but this is at least an excellent time to decompress. 
Tomorrow starts week 2..... I'm ready for it!
