Weekendy stuff

selenayI have officialy survived my first week in the new job. Go me. A lot of it was many meetings and talking to people, so much of it went very slowly. However, they did let me do a couple of small pieces of analysis work which meant that I could play around with SQL.
I have a feeling that I'm going to enjoy the technical, programming side of the job (which seems to be the primary reason why I was hired), but probably not feel so great about the corporate greed side of the job. I'm already thinking that I'll probably be moving on in a year or so to find a company that matches me better. I'll see how the job pans out - what I actually end up doing day to day - and review my position in a few months. At leas then I'll have some solid experience with a big company to put on my CV so I could apply for positions that would fit me better with some hope of getting them.
I've already filled out the Stargate Awards survey, even though I didn't find time to vote this year. Hopefully the feedback that they get will help them to fine-tune the process so that it isn't as chaotic as this year's. Maybe they'll even find the miraculous format that pleases everything. I'm not holding my breath on the second one, though :-)

terrylbirch for coffee, videos and probably takeout this afternoon and I plan to spend tomorrow working on the Serpent sequel and getting some more reviews loaded into the database. Weekends, how I love thee :-)
