First Day Thoughts.
So here's a brief step-by-step synopsis of my first day at Midstar.
-Get to work at 8:30 AM (soo much better than 10AM)
-Meet with Rick for a while, went over what we need to accomplish with my training time as well as more overview of the job. Til 9:45
-Sit in on a weekly conference call with the developers. 10-11:15
-Go to the Irish Pub across the street for lunch. Included in this trip was a serving of fish-and-chips and 2 20oz Guinness'. We met a bunch of other software guys from another place that Rick worked called Domin-8(yes really).11:15 - 12:50
-Get back from lunch and belly up to the 5 dollar buy in Texas holdem table in Rick's office. I went out first, but it's all part of my plan to hustle them. 1:00 - 3:30
- Sit at my desk and tear through the software and network.3:30 - 5:00
- Go home!
So there it is, my first day at Midstar. I have no complaints. I do understand though that starting next week, we are really going to get down to business. I'll be training in the main office in Sandusky, with Rich the old System Engineer. I think I'll be there for the first part of the week, but I'm not sure when I'll be back in Cinci. Then when we get back I'm going to start looking into swapping the ISP from a crappy 768k DSL connection to something a little beefier. Oh, and Rick wants to make me the IP Phone system Beyyotch (those are his words).
It's still rather early here in BG. I'm blogging from Jannelle's place. I drove home the Saturn last night so that I could spend some time with her. I crashed hard last night though(not the car, but my brain). I slept straight though till 7:30 this morning and I've been wide awake since. I think my dad is going to come pick me up soon, and I'm going to take him out for breakfast as an early father's day present. Then, I'll be working on the Honda for a few hours to finish it up. Then, Greg will be in town with the Hyundai and be eating lunch with his grandparents. Then, he and I will be headed over to Daryl's for the weekend. There's lots of traveling in my future, but it'll be worth it for sure!
talk to you all again soon!

Yeeeeeeeehaw!!!
This is really really good stuff. It sounds almost too good to be true, but you know you are worth all of that good compensation and then some. That, and having a cool place to work at too--man, this will be wonderful. Now you can save up for a house and all of that fun kind of stuff--all while having fun and being actively engaged in things that your mind wants to work on.
Wow. Congratulations a million times over, eh.
I would like a group photo of your poker game. Or at least your office.
