Ditch the New Kid Day

I had no idea that on my very first day back I'd have two things to say, but alas, I do.

So here's a note on what not to do when you have a new person start at your company. After three weeks of eating at the same time in the cafeteria, please don't just not show up one day. The new person will look around the gigantic cafeteria, searching for one of the 20 faces she might know, and find... no one.

I thought I'd have pretty good new kid karma since I usually go out of my way when new people start where I work. Apparently that's not the case here.

Note to self: for next job, ask about 'acceptance of new people to the team.'

10 Months later...


So i apologize for not having much to say the past 10 months. Considering in that time I moved to Cincinnati, started a new job, got a dog, got a different new job, and moved back home to Minneapolis, you can generally guess these months have been hectic and not so much fun.

I promise to try and be better about updating this…key phrase is try to be better. I’ve given up promising to actually do better. I figure that living with my parents and attempting to date in this city will give me much fodder for writing.

I must do some work, because unlike my favorite Glamazon I have work to do (http://adventuresofaglamazon.blogspot.com/), but I wanted to say Hello, and I’m back! Or rather, Gracie and I are back!
