One day down. I do know that after just one day, I want to move to the city. Not because of the commute or anything like that, but just because I feel how much I want to be right in the middle of everything. The commute was okay. I am not sure how I am going to do on that front. I left the house at 7:42, made the 8:02 train, and got into the office just around 9. It was a good walk from both the house and the station. I was feeling a little bit of it in my legs by the time I got to the office. The only thing I need to do different is get a pass instead of buying a ticket every morning. I feel like such an outsider having to buy a ticket each morning. But I am waiting until I get back from vacation to buy the card because I want to see how much money I have first. I might go tonight and get one, but only put a little on it for now. After the trip I will put a month's worth of passes on there.

Got to the office and met up with the director of training. She is also new (as it turns out are three other people I met yesterday) and is still learning the product. My desk is like right in the middle of the room and I am not sure how I feel about that. This is one of those 'hey check out how hip we are, we don't have walls and you can see our ventilation ducts' kind of places. Also not sure how I feel about that, but it's a minor thing. If the worst part of the job is having to be in the center of a room and no privacy, whatever. That's what conference rooms are for, right? Got all my logins and paperwork done and started in on learning the product. Going through different training classes. Essentially it's what I will be doing through Thursday and then I found out there's an all-day company meeting on Friday. Not a bad first week as far as scheduling goes. Left the office around 4:45 and got the 5:14 express train home. Was home around 5:50 including the walk. Acceptable. Today I am taking a slightly earlier train but will probably take the same one home.

Didn't really get to meet or socialize with anyone yesterday. I did behave and keep my mouth shut. Was friendly but not overly, was polite, but not distant. I think I did okay for a first day. Now, let's see how many more I can handle...
