So... I started my new job on Tuesday. A few thoughts:

• My old office was nice ("office" being the space that surrounds me as I work). If you have a window and light that comes from the sun, don't take it for granted.
• Unsmall companies can use their resources to do good things for their employees. My new place has catered lunches once a week, free Trader Joe's snack delivery, a super responsive email request line for IT and office related desires...
• If I had a nickel for every time that I've seen or heard the word "hacker" this week then I'd have enough nickels to buy little engineer voodoo dolls for everyone in HR and Sales.
• As expected, I'm enjoying my new 30 minute subway/walking commute so far. (In winter, even!) I noticed a definite drop in crazy schemes and creative ideas when I started my last job and went from a 1 hour car commute to a 5 minute walk. I'd like to get home to Jess sooner at the end of the day but I do enjoy having time alone with my thoughts.
• I miss my Apple Cinema Display :(
• My personal space is bare and a little depressing. I need to fix that but I'm not exactly sure what the boundaries are when it comes to putting stuff up on the wall and bringing in furniture.
• Everyone on my team seems nice.
