Today I receive my security badge and computer sign on. Let the training begin!
After being on the giving end of training for the past two weeks, it sure feels weird to be on the receiving end of training.

Feb 14: First Day
Today is my first day on the new job and I have tons of white fluffy stuff piling on the ground to greet me. I made a big mistake to walk from the train station to the company - it's a 30 min walk and by the time I reach the building, I cannot feel my legs and my glasses are laced with ice!
Apparently there are a lot of new hires, so I don't have a computer sign on yet. I end up spend most of the time with HR and reading the orientation material.
It definitely feels strange to leave the office at 4:30pm since I'm so used to a 10 hr work day at my old place.

Feb 13: Last day
After a long job hunt, finally I'm out of the door.
Part of the reason why my job hunt lasted so long is because I do enjoy the small company setting: most of my coworkers are decent people whom I know well; communication is mostly informal; dress code is basically lax. However I can't see opportunity for professional growth in this small company, so it's time to move on.
I will definitely miss my coworkers.

Feb 11: Family Reunion
It was at least two years since the entire family sat around the same table and enjoyed a meal together. Though the time is short but it was really "quality time" spent.
Hopefully my new job will work out well so that I can afford to spend some vacation days to visit my brothers more often.
