Day 1

Is in the past (mostly). They are...on the surface anyway...disorganized. There's boxes & binders & piles of paper in every office that I've seen. I wonder if they have recently moved or do they just have no real storage system. They just threw me right into things. They are due to transmit payroll tomorrow. I'm supposed to attend a meeting tomorrow afternoon & explain to them all the pros & cons of upgrading their timekeeping & payroll systems. I'm still not clear if they are upgrading no matter what, or if they are still in the 'thinking & need convincing' stage. I'd be more comfortable with this if I had spent more than a few hours working on their current systems. By & large the people seem friendly & welcoming. I got introduced to too many people & shown too many places around the office today. I only remember 3 peoples names and that's only because I've talked to them quite a bit. I think my boss is the person I'm sharing an office with. Speaking of office, it's kind of like a fishbowl. 3 solid walls & 4th wall that's 2 windows & a sliding glass door, facing out into the main office area. The drive is quick, but there's construction going on about a mile from the office, so I had to blindly re-route myself this morning to get there. There's quite a bit of food options near by...but I intend to start bringing my lunch to work soon...once I remember where the lunch room is.
