First day of the new job is down! It wasn't bad at all, really. I got there a little early, so they had to call someone to buzz me back. The only one there was the IT guy, so he came out and got me and tucked me into a cubicle while he went to get my gear. As he was getting me set up, one of my managers came in and introduced herself, and welcomed me. The new laptop is kind of enormous, and the monitor is a 26", which barely fit in my trunk. I apparently impressed the IT guy with the way I jumped in and started setting up the monitor and all. He asked if I didn't think that maybe I'd want to come work with them instead.
The morning orientation was not particularly interesting. They did a little "aren't we great" history of the hospital, and then we talked about the core values and the mission statement. The standard stuff that you go over. We broke for lunch a bit early, giving us about 90min for lunch.
I wandered over to my manager to let her know, and they snagged me for about 15 minutes to go over some departmental policies, and then told me that if I wanted to, I could go home for the second half of the orientation, and really, they didn't need to ask twice. I packed up and headed home, making it with over 30 min to spare.
The second half of orientation was slightly more interesting, as we talked about benefits and other perks. The parking and security session wasn't very useful to me, so I went ahead and enrolled for benefits during it, and applied for an account with the Hopkins Credit Union. My benefits will start on March 1st, so I figured I should get my stuff in early.
They finished us up around 3:30, so I was able to leave to see dad pre-rush hour. He's doing well. Starting to get excited about coming home. Jess has been busting their ass trying to get the house ready. We currently have a dumpster and are trying to throw things out so that we have room for the sit/stand machine we need to get.
I put in for an ebay auction for a new desk chair. It's a local seller, so I can pick it up and have it quickly. I'm thinking that I might need to beg my brother in law to use his larger SUV, because I'm not sure the Soul is big enough. I've got dimensions, so I'll take my tape measure and see. It's a Steelcase Leap V1, which is supposed to be ideal for short and fat people. We'll see! If it sucks, I've only lost a few bucks.
Today, my real training begins. I met my trainer brieftly yesterday, so today we'll set to work. My hours for the next few weeks is kind of all over the place. Today I'm 9am-5:30pm, but next week, I'm 8-4:30.
And now, I shall have some more coffee and prepare for my day. Everyone have a most excellent Tuesday!
