D-Day at First5LA

Unfortunately due to a challenging day, I'm not able to fully describe my first work day for First5LA in great detail, however, here's the Cliff's Notes version:

• My new supervisor is a great person with a firm understanding of what it is to be a leader. She doesn't harp on people about their time keeping, she doesn't micromanage, and she allows her employees to be professionals. She could be the best boss I've had so far.... so far.
• My office area has a great view of the Union Station Plaza and I can see Dodger Stadium from my desk.
• It doesn't take a week to get office supplies and it doesn't take a week to get your order for office supplies approved by your Admin. It takes a day.
• It appears my medical will be paid for by the organization...
• I'm being challenged out of the gate - I already have two deliverables and have been named the lead on a project. Who needs time to get acclimated?
• Everyone was very kind and gracious to me... it seems everyone is personable.
• The organization is much smaller than expected.... 74-80 people.
• I'm sitting in on the USC fans side of the floor, which means I'm sitting on the wrong side of the floor.
• The organization utilizes current computing tools like OUTLOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111... instead of Eudora like JPL. I never understood how a laboratory that produces cutting edge technology uses software circa 1999.
• I still miss people at the lab.
• I'm tired.

I really feel good about the career move I made... how was your day?
