Day 1 is in the books

I didn’t take any pho­tos, my work­space needs more geeky dec­o­ra­tion before I feel I can really share it with the world, but today was a great first day.

I met almost every­one in the IT depart­ment and got my hands into a few projects. I took part in a brain­storm­ing ses­sion for a prospec­tive client, worked on bugs for a cur­rent client’s site, and filled out LOTS of paper­work. It always sur­prises me how much paper­work it takes to become an employee.

I got a walk through of all the inter­nal sys­tems from our sys­tem admin­is­tra­tor, who zooms around the office on one of those razor scooters.

I mem­o­rized four dif­fer­ent pass­words that are used on mul­ti­ple sites and I have to try and keep them straight in my mind.

I had Taco Bell for lunch and dis­cov­ered that one of my favorite pizza joints in the world is just down the road, Amer­i­can Pie Pizza Com­pany FTW!

And yet, I still must find more ways to per­son­al­ize my space at work. I have a cubi­cle, except it’s more like a Hex­i­cle and so that means lots of wall space. I’ll need my head­phones and glasshead of course, cow­boy hat, maybe a poster or two

Any ideas from you guys?

How about this: The per­son who leaves the best sug­ges­tion in the com­ments will win some­thing awesome!

Best is defined as:

1. Fea­si­ble
2. Not extrav­a­gant or overly pricey. I’m not spend­ing $200 on a dig­i­tal pic­ture frame.
3. Must be ade­quately geeky enough.
