So I'm back in the 'Oaks, as I call it now, and I had to go through new employee orientation today for CompanyX that I'm working for til the end of the year. I still work work X-Systems, but I'm now a contractor for our California client.
Orientation was kinda weird. I've never worked for any other company than X-Systems, and I never had to do the corporate Orientation dog and pony show. So today's deal was pretty boring for me, but I did make a new friend. It felt like high school all over again. All the popular kids who already knew each other on one side laughing and giggling, and the kids who were shy and didn't know anyone on the other (me). Luckily I met this gal from Michigan who just moved here, and we had the instant midwest bond.
So we went over internet security, passwords, company standards, maps, where the cafeteria is, etc. Blah blah blah. Then I had to get my picture taken for my security pass. It figures that the one day I wake up late and can't shower is the day that my ratty ass haircut stands on end like Alfalfa for the picture. I was able to suppress it, but the picture is 'eh'.
So now I have my own NT login ID, my own email address, cubicle, phone, voicemail, computer, all the works, at Company-X. But it's just not the same as working with the guys at X-Systems. I really miss you guys at work.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the earth, South Koreans threaten Apolo's life as the gals spit harsh words at each other on the OZ. Two conversations going on at once on completely different subjects, yet revolving around one young man. One is quite amusing while the other is sad, really disturbing and scary. And in a way, I'm sad that the we're caught in this state, bickering with each other while the Koreans just hack away and threaten us as well as the skaters that will be going to Korea next month. It happened almost 2 years ago, get over it! What the hell is going on?
*runs around to see who is blasting who on each other's blogs*
update: hardly anyone is! you guys are no fun. *evil grin*

Posted by: Tex on November 17, 2003 10:53 PMOooh so that's what happened at the OZ. I went there today and the note left by Noelle & Todd were so mysterious. *sigh* Some people just can't grow up and move on... Hopefully all will turn out well.
