Starting Up

Reflecting back on the first week, I thought the orientation process was excellent. I really appreciated the opportunity to get to know everyone in the department. My friends who are on co-op at other jobs didn't have that opportunity, they started work right away. I think that getting to know everybody is very important for incoming MA's or full time employees, because it instantly makes the new guy feel welcome and more comfortable.

Some things that I found was that Ann has gone sky diving about 7 times, Kinsey refuses to lose, Mike is secretly a criminal mastermind, and John threw javelin. I don't think I have ever met anyone who carries these traits. Its great to have such cool people working around me, and wish that there were more people like this in my past jobs as well as future jobs.

I still can't stress how enjoyable it is to work here and I look forward to the next 5.5 months here.
