New Job
(from April 8 - accidently posted to the wrong blog)
I survived my first week at the new job. Wow, these people have their act together. Very organized, good process and things seem to be done right. That's not to say there are not issues, but coming out of AltaVista, which seemed to be perpetually running around like a chicken with its head cut off, this is a refreshing change. I think the key is to not take on more projects than you can handle and to set realistic deadlines.
I am learning all the terminology and acronyms and have been thrust into meetings already.
I am amazed at how insular groups get with their own lingo and how second nature it becomes. It is only when someone new joins and starts asking what that means do people stop and realize that the terms or the language is not obvious.
I think this will be a good place to be.
