So I've been at work for a week, and I have a few impressions:
I'm excited because I get to have some input. I get to help guide decisions. And the work is interesting. I get to have my hands in many things at once, and that's exciting.
I finally have a window. A real window. It looks down onto Center City Philadelphia. I'm up on the 18th floor, and we're actually at a corner of the block of skyscrapers so that most of the buildings right near us are smaller, so I can see the street, and sidewalk vendors, and traffic. It's nice. I joked with a friend that Philadelphia is like some women I know: she doesn't get any prettier, no matter how high you get. But I kid. In reality, it's not true. From up here, things are peaceful, and calm.
I get to take the train every day into work. It's time that I can devote to work, or to reading a book, or, as I did yesterday morning into work, take a nap. It's soothing, and despite having to sit in very tight corners with people I don't know, it's personal time. Now, once I get that iPod, things will be even nicer.
I think, all in all, this was a good decision for me, and I'm glad I moved to this job. Not that I didn't enjoy MortgageRamp. I did. I really liked the people that I worked with, and the work that I did. But it was time for me to move. I'm grateful for the things that they taught me at MortgageRamp, and I'm ready to apply them here.
