the new place

had my first day at work yesterday and it was ok. first days anywhere are never amazing, and you just sit there getting all your access sorted out and your door pass and getting your pc all set up with the right software that you will need. its a bit of a bedding -in process. 

one thing to note is that it took 7 weeks to get a login account and a pc and my door pass, at my last bank. here at the new place it took 2 hours. thats more like it. 

people seem nice, though to be fair, most of the people i worked with in banks were really nice as well. there were a couple of assholes but the laws of probability state that they can be employed anywhere. the office i work in is a lot nicer than where i came from and my desk is huge. its the biggest desk i have ever had. its almost 6 feet long i reckon. its massive. we also get free softdrinks and tea and coffee (i don't do coffee) and most importantly my boss seems like a nice guy. 

if all goes well i might stick it out for a while. i will be nice to just get settled in somewhere and not even think of leaving for a while, not that i will have the option of leaving, given the state of the economy. anyways, what the fuck am i talking of leaving for, i said i want to stay for while. i have already seen things they are running that i don't know about, which is a good thing. i will be in trouble once i learn it, but whilst i have something to investigate and build some knowledge on, i will be fine. 

snow has started melting away though we might get some more on friday. i hope not. its all dirty slush outside and more snow is just going to make a mess. 

today i have mostly been listening to the arcade fire - keep the car running.  

take care flower.
