First day of WORK!

so today was my first official day as a Kadix Systems employee :) overall, the day was a big success i would say, filled with a lot of information (i have to pick a 401k plan...like i know how to go about doing that) and forms (taxes are such an unfortunate part of our government) and meeting people (my favorite part).

i have a meeting with a project manager tomorrow to discuss an open position on a coast guard project very soon, rather than the IRS project i was originally slated on, so we'll see how that turns out. also, all of the new hires got laptops, so i'm now sporting a new hp laptop at work, complete with carrying case haha.

although it was very weird to wake up and realize my career started today, it was also a really encouraging day in terms of the type of atmosphere kadix promotes, the type of people that work there, and their apparently solid grip on the 40-hour workweek, meaning every day i should be starting at 8:30 or 9:00 and done around 5:00 and 5:30 depending on the client. i'm excited to find out more about my specific responsibilities on the project i eventually get assigned to, but for now i'm just enjoying some new-hire seminars and my temporary cube :)
