Working Girl...Finally

So, I started my new job today. The building is the pale pink high-rise with dark red horizontal stripes where the different patios are, to the left of the dark one with the triangle-shaped top. I'm on the 19th floor. I liked my old job, and I knew it would be a good jumping-off point, but I already think I'll like this one better. The atmosphere in this office is totally different than K&M, for one thing. My first day at K&M people rarely even looked up, I felt like I was intruding, and there was no set training. At F&J, though, they had a training room and I had a one-on-one session with one of the women from IT on the basic computer software I would be using and a once-over on their document storage and intranet systems. Then they took me out for a fancy lunch to say welcome and get to know me! At K&M I probably sat in the lunch room by myself with my microwave meal. I met Christina, our admin, Becky, who is a double-checker of mine and my co-workers docketing and other functions, and our manager Deborah. There was only one person in the office that didn't go out of their way to say hi and welcome and converse a little bit. I don't know yet if she's the office grump or she is just REALLY busy (like so busy she doesn't have time to smile). We'll see.
My cubicle at the moment is awful. That's the downside of the whole thing so far. Me and the other newbies are in a room with counters divided into desks that seem very temporary, but I've been told already that when I graduate through the training program in 3-6 months I'll move up to one of the fancy cubicles with a great view, or one just across the aisle from one with a great view, anyway. You can see part of the southern edge of downtown and bits of Town Lake poking through the buildings.
After work I walked home in beautiful Austin weather, about 70 degrees and sunny, with cavorting birds and jealous driving commuters everywhere. So everyday I'll have a nice 20 minute period to rev up for the day, my walk is only about a mile, and every night 20 minutes to wind down and get ready to relax. Everything's going swimmingly so far. I'm kind of waiting for the bottom to drop out.
