I started my new job last Tuesday and, well, I was in for a surprise. I spent all my working life either working in high tech for big corporations or freelancing. And now for something completely different...
Differences:
- I bring a book to work and actually have time to read while I wait for my ride (instead of working).
- I work in a noisy open environment (as opposed to a quiet open environment)
- the complexity of the work is 2/10 rather than 9/10
- everybody is bilingual French/English or English/French as opposed to Russian/French or Chinese/English
- I had one meeting last week. One.
- I don't have email yet, and it doesn't hurt my productivity (heck! it might even enhance it)
- ditto for the Internet
Ok, so I am just starting. But still, this is SOOOO promising! ; -)

Wow - sounds pretty ideal so far. Congrats on the new gig.
finally got the paperwork finished (or is it still in progress?)
The paperwork is done. I just prepared my end-of-month invoice so things are rolling except... I still don't have an email address or access to the Internet. Which means I am catching up on my reading and which also means lunch is on me. I will try and drop by on Friday. I read you are working week-ends? Maybe I could drop by on a Saturday instead??
