Looking at the World
Feb. 22nd, 2008 11:16 pmI'm ashamed I'm posting another meme after putting one out yesterday, but here we go, here's my glasses.
Yep, they are dirty, and my right eye is much less out of whack than the left one.
So to try to combat this memage (memeage?), here's some actual content.
I've had one week of training at the new job (the previous week was licensing training). There's much to lear, and really, this company acts very differently with a different focus and products than I've had at my other two financial services companies. There's 40 people in my training class and there's many different levels of industry experience. It's making some of the going very slow. Personally, I'd like more training on the unique products and wish the computer systems classes went much faster. I usually don't have trouble working trough database lookup queries.
Having an hour lunch again is somewhat mystifying, but since there's no campus cafeteria, it's all about learning how far you can drive and still make it back in time.
The lead trainer, Jake is attractive, but straight. Not that I'm looking to cause trouble at work or anything. I think he looks like Versacub from Seattle. I wish I could remember his real name right now. I get to see Jake for 3 more months. It's a long training program, but Jake might keep my attention.
I'm having to work on re-configuring my finances a little bit as I had been on a weekly pay schedule that ended last week. The new employer is like many professional employers and pays on the 15th and end of the month. I'm not sure how much I'll get on the 29th for my first new payday, so I may have to keep it a little frugal this week.
I don't have the benefit of going down to the gym at work before I leave the campus anymore. The new office building doesn't have too many amenities on the property. I find one bathroom for each of the three floors is a bit of bad planning. The training room is freezing while the floor is warm. I finally have a cubicle with higher walls, and for some reason it comes with a small coat closet attached to the drawers.
Still, about the gym, I digress, I'm lucky to have already transitioned to the LA Fitness near our home. Still, I'm feeling that I have to push myself to go. Tonight I did work out, but since Chris went earlier, I could take all the time I wanted. I went over to the hot tub and just floated for a while. It's so big, not only could I float, I also was pushed around in circles by the power of the jets. Relaxing, but a bit dizzying.
I don't have to work on Saturday! Hooray!
