Phshew!

First day done!

It was long, but very good. Everyone was excited for me to join the team. I had a steady stream of well wishers all day and even met the founder of the company when he wandered by.

The office is just ridiculous. They just moved in six weeks ago. It is huge and very modern. Brand new furniture, ergonomic chairs, a gym and a fully stocked kitchen - a Keurig coffee maker and ice cream in the freezers for that afternoon energy boost. How awesome is that?

I was most worried about the other girl in my department - would she be cool? would we get along? I shouldn't have worried!! She seems super cool and made me feel very welcome. And she complimented my shoes within minutes of my arrival - that's my kind of girl!

And the puppies survived their day alone. The dog walker said they were well-behaved and they were beside themselves with excitement to see me. There's nothing better to come home to at the end of a long day!
