The Walterland Blog

I wasn't going to post anymore blog entries this week, since I kinda laid out what was happening for the rest of my week. But... I learned in one of my meetings today that we signed a new customer!... and, they were assigned to me. In the "soon" future, I don't know how long these things take... I've only been there 4 days, I have to go to Canada and implement their new network solution. Guess I'm not gonna escape the whole winter this year.

Also, I got a hummer at work... Get your mind out of the gutter... There is a guy that sits near me that likes to hum. He also likes to say random words aloud. Below are some examples I noted from the last two days:

I'm hoping he has some kind of speach recognition device... More to follow...

Better than day one... The first day is always filled with a bunch of fluff, you know... HR paperwork, tours, introductions. Since I am staying at a hotel right now, I didn't need a lot of time to fill out HR documents as I am basically... homeless. Well, was homeless...

We just got back from filling out the paperwork to rent our new house. This place is bad ass. It has 3 huge bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a 2 car garage. Now we'll need to buy a second car to fill that up with. Makes my commute a little longer, but there are a lot of big roads, that seem to fill up quickly with cars, to get me there.

This weekend we will wrap things up in Kingman... finally. I'm not even looking forward to going back to get our stuff. I wish I could just leave it there, but I need some furniture and beds.

The next two days at work are going to be consumed with meetings... Friday, I get to go work in the Data Center in Gilbert, AZ. I can't wait to see this place.

Today was my first day of work. It will take a little time to get readjusted to working again after being out of the picture for so long. They have built some networks there that surprised me in their complexity.

We found a different place to live outside of Mesa, AZ. You can get way more bang for your buck outside the city. This weekend will be our new "move in" date.

Sorry for the short post, but that's the updates as of now. Everyone's doing well and it's still warm enough down here to wear shorts and tee-shirts... but it's getting colder.
