First in North Carolina and starting the new job

• Tuesday December 16th by Bucky in General

Well, I’m finally starting to get settled in to my new place in Cary, NC. I’ve been here for a few days now, and so far, I really like it. The weather has been nice and cool: in the 40’s and 50’s during the day, and the 20’s and 30’s at night. It rained and misted all day today. It’s weird; I’m not used to it being rainy and cold, I rather like it.

After two days, I want to say that my new job is fantastic, thanks for asking. I’ve signed on to be a ColdFusion developer with SRA International in Durham. Again, today was only my second day, but the first two were great. Yesterday was an orientation that was presented via a teleconference call with people across the country. Today was my first real day. I have to say, I’m very impressed with how organized and employee-oriented the company is. I have a nice sized cubicle that will have a name plate on the outside wall. Inside my cubicle today was a Dell PC with a dual LCD setup, which I thought was pretty cool. Also inside my cube were a stapler, a tape dispenser, a staple remover, a magnetized paper clip holder, paper clips, staples, and tape, two pads of paper, two pens, two pencils, two stacks of post it notes a telephone directory and instructions on how to use the phone. All of the office supplies were brand new in boxes. It was incredible, and also a little exciting to see the company that hired me putting in just a little bit of effort to show that I’m welcomed. That little bit went a very long way. It’s quite exciting to be working for a company that has their act together and tries to let their employees know how they feel about them.
