I Contributed

I am settling in at work a little bit. My computer is working and I am getting e-mails, responding to them, filling my calendar, and all sorts of fun stuff. I even felt like I contributed a little bit today which was nice.

They are in the process of reorganizing the marketing department so everyone is kind of re-learning their roles, so I get to learn along with them. Part of that re-org is a re-engineering of the processes that the entire marketing department uses. That is where I got to give some input yesterday.

All in all I am pretty happy so far. Just eager to get started working on something real, but there is still too much to learn. My supervisor, Tara, is back in town today so I will finally get to sit down with her.

Me on My first day

We moved the desk into place last night (with Chances help - he came over for dinner) so that is where I am set up this morning. It sits right under the stairs, so when Vegeta goes up and down it sounds neat. She also stops to peer down on me.

Listening to Ryan Adam's - Heartbreaker this morning. "Damn, Sam I Love A Woman That Rains" was the driving track on that decision.

Ahh - yesterday was meat day. I love meat day. Justin and I went to Sam's to stock up. $200. I am OK with that though becuase we got a good size beef tenderloin (mmmm, so tasty), a big fat pork tenderloin, 2 cases of chicken, 2 chuck roasts, and a 2 london broils. Additionally we picked up a garnet pullover for Justin, a box of potstickers, a box of bagel bites, and some mini corn dogs.

There were also iPod issues so I grabbed a new one of those. A 4GB green iPod nano. I call it the iGob. ;-)



And Mom sent this to me the other day (filtered to my favs)...

ADULT: A person who has stopped growing at both ends and is now growing in the middle.

CHICKENS: The only animals you eat before they are born and after they are dead.

COMMITTEE: A body that keeps minutes and wastes hours.

DUST: Mud with the juice squeezed out.

EGOTIST: Someone who is usually me-deep in conversation.

HANDKERCHIEF: Cold Storage.

MOSQUITO: An insect that makes you like flies better.

SECRET: Something you tell to one person at a time.

SKELETON: A bunch of bones with the person scraped off.

For now, Farewell.
