what its all about?

as you surely know by now i started a new job this week, monday morn exactly, so this if my 4th day here! I can't say how much i'm going to like the new job yet, everyone here seems pretty nice and helpful, but i'm stuck in a crappy office (for now) and learning a new programming method.

first of all i'm moving from a total microsoft environment to a java/mysql environment. i have a good understanding of java to start with so it helps, but its still a lot to learn. also the way certain things are done here are much different than i'm used to, but i'll catch on quick i think.

then, the new company i work for had already outgrown their office space, so i'm suck in the break room. at least there is a little divider so that i'm seperated from people when they come in to get water, or user the microwave or whatever, but it smells like coffee and you know how much i like coffee. the lack of a window is enuf to drive a person (well at least me) mad. its kinda depressing actually. the good news is that i (and several others) will be moving soon! they are expanding to another office in the building. i will only be in a cubicle, but at least there will be a window in the room that i'm in, something smaller than my old office, but at least a window.

so its been a hard first (almost full) week. i said the lack of a good window is almost depressing. even tho i have gmail notifier, windows messenger, and yahoo messenger, i still find myself checking my email once in a while to make sure i don't have anything. So if any of you who used to work with me (even 200 miles away), i miss you guys.

i guess i ought to get back to work eh? i was writing while waiting for a program to download, its done now.... i'll talk to you all later!
