So I’ve been asked a few times how the new job is going. “So far so good” is the usual answer I provide. As with any new position, there’s a learning curve. Admittedly, I feel like the curve is a bit steep, and I’m still foggy on what’s going on these days, but I have to remember to be patient- it’s been less than two weeks! Overall, I’m enjoying the position so far, and I think there will be many exciting things coming down the pipeline. Between trying to absorb all of the information coming my way, figure out HR and IT related issues, and navigate the shortest distance between my place and the Southport location, there’s been no shortage of new experiences!
Some notables:
1) I have a pretty incredible view! My 6th floor cubicle faces the north west; I can see Rockyview General Hospital, the C-Train, and a glimpse of the downtown skyline.
2) I get a fancy iPhone 5 for work. Whoohoo! If only I got some calls on it…
3) Between the upcoming laptop and my iPhone 5, I’ll be pretty mobile. Fun!
4) Office ergonomics are very important. My upper body has been hurting for a week and a half. I’ve been working here for a week and a half. I’ll be rectifying this situation ASAP.
5) The eatery on the main floor sells coffee for one dollar. One whole buck. I love this point.
6) Lunch time at my cubicle is a great time to write a quick blog post.
HIKES & HAMSTRINGS 
I am supremely jealous of your workstation! I work in a concrete box into which no sunlight may ever enter and it is kept at -1,000,000 degrees. Also, an iPhone 5 for work? You are the luckiest man EVER! The $1 coffee sounds pretty awesome too!Also, don’t worry about the learning curve – I know you’ll figure it all out and keep some serious butt!
