Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Except meteors tend to be a bit larger than baseballs.

Details, baby, details.

Yay surprise mail.

Yay Friday and Monday off.

I had a really good first day, but I don't think I will be online everyday. Not even close. I guess after the first month, I will get DSL at home and just deal with night and weekend posting.

So spill. Your coworkers all good and wonderful? All sorts of fun projects?

Well, I made people laugh, people were friendly, no one seems territorial. I contributed 2 things on projects. I was introduced via phone to the other office and to 2 clients. I was given 2 follow up emails to one client to handle myself, one involving me asking for clarification on things that no one had thought of. I caught a potential legal issue and will meet with legal tomorrow about it.

My computer and stuff is all up and running already and I was sending and receiving real work emails by lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Damn, that's quick! Good stuff.

That sounds good! Like they were prepared for you and know what to do with you, which is reassuring.

(this job, the contractor neglected to tell them I was coming. They thought they had a couple weeks yet. So they *really* didn't know what to do with me.)

yes, they are kinda the polar opposite of my last 2 jobs. OH, and all my HR paperwork is in and processed, I will get a check on Thursday.

This bodes very well. May it continue as such and may you find challenges you thrive with. You deserve such.

THIS Thursday? HMOG. I've never heard of such a thing.
