It went fine. First thing, I had a full health/safety training lecture - followed by a quiz. EXTREMELY safety conscious joint. Then I had a big tour of the place where I saw a bunch of stuff and a lot of company philosophy was discussed. It is a company that is trying very hard to be progressive and enlightened. Lots of jargon and buzzwords flying around. I have seen companies like that before. There are pluses and minuses - but more pluses.

Everyone seemed very friendly and helpful. Pretty big place. Estimated 1200 people work in that facility.

There is a big fitness facility there - all kinds of exercise equipment - and I could hear ping pong being played behind the far wall.

I didn't actually make it to where I am going to be working until after lunch. The job itself does not seem particularly electrifying. It's a job. Nice enough bunch of guys around me though. A couple of them have been there ~25 years. That's a good sign.

It's too early to give a fair evaluation though. I have to get some idea what plans they have for me, and what I may be allowed to do. I see all kinds of potential. I can already envision myself advancing in different areas. I want a full cut of the cash flowing around that place.

As for trim, I saw one very cute girl early on - and my manager is actually pretty okay.

Meanwhile my feet aren't used to me being on them so much so they are sore - but I'll stick with it.
 
Glad you got the first one under your belt...

its always tough being the new kid, and the first few days is training vids and paperwork and you just wanna get started...

what did you eat for lunch?

maybe after awhile you can start booking for some of your new warehouse buddy friends...

also you need to start preparing for a table table show down with Matty.... take advantage of that Ping Pong table
 
I wouldn't mind playing ping pong. I use to be able to play a bit and I imagine I could get my game back - but it would be a pretty fair walk to the tables and back from where I work.

For lunch I had a sammich. Assorted cold cuts/cheddar/leddish on a kaiser. And I had a couple Little Debbie's Chocolate Rings With Caramel.

I have to work out my lunch strategies. Kind of a drag - I have no fridge available.
 
So I'm at this farmer's market buying meself some homemade jams (peach raspberry & red currant.) They are $7.50 & $5 respectively. The friendly cashier clerk fidgets for a while before announcing the total - $12.50.

By that time I've set my sights on their fancy reusable bag, which is $2.50.

I'll take one.

The cashier clerk no longer looks friendly - in fact she's staring me down ostensibly. Her face says are you really doing this to me?

She pulls out a calculator and starts typing away. I figure there's tax on the bag and she's never ever sold one before so she hasn't memorized the amount of the tax on a $2.50 sale. Fair enough.

So she types. And types again.

She frowns. Something is wrong.

She turns on the calculator.

She goes back to the cash register to inspect the screen. It reads $12.50. Ah yes, her face says. She remembers.

Back to the calculator. She types:

1 2 . 5 0 + 2 . 5 0 =

That'll be 15 dollorz.
