Now the dust begins to settle...
Nov. 21st, 2009 11:39 amWell, that's the first week over in my new job. I decided I wasn't going to post anything about it mid-week and save it all to the weekend, but so far so good.
The team (my new minions!) seem a good bunch generally, though one of them (B) has a contract that's ending in a couple of weeks and was trying to sound me out about her chances of staying on - I'd already been told by my boss why she wasn't being renewed and also figured out that I agreed with that decision by lunchtime on Monday. The worrying thing is that B thinks she's done well and doesn't seem to understand that her contract isn't being renewed because she clearly hasn't.
I'm now based in an area nearby that I really don't know very well, so I have bought myself an early Christmas present in the shape of a satnav, as I got fed up with getting lost.
That's it, really. Dull, I know. Pffft.
