hard at work: part 1
Filed Under work
Earlier this week I was assigned my own cubicle at work. From everything I’ve gathered, that means things were fast-tracked. I’m enjoying learning about this new work culture. 
For those of you playing along at home, here’s how it breaks down:
- My company promptly submitted the request to get me setup with all the stuff a new employee needs 38 business days prior to my actual start date (not including federal holidays, mind you).
- I received a cubicle and phone a mere 48 business days after the request (again, not including federal holidays). That’s only 10 actual days of work without my own space, and is far sooner than those in the know anticipated. I was pleased.
Until I had my own space to work I was fortunate enough to be the understudy of a generous soul who carved out some space in his cube for me. Things went well enough that we never had to draw a line down the middle to define territories. I’m sure productivity was higher than usual, too.
Stay tuned for part two wherein I’ll give an update once I receive an email address, network login, and computer. (That is all helping me ease into things rather than being thrown to the wolves with new projects too quickly.)
It’s fun to joke about, but I really am enjoying work thus far. The people have been great, the environment fascinating, and the technical aspect challenging.
