I am rather hyper now and that is all due to the joy of diet coke. I am a tad hyper and I guess that is somewhat good since I have bills to pay and a test to study for. Just finished paying the bills and already did most of the learning of international finance.
I started at the EDS office yesterday. All I had was an empty cube and a laptop. It was a tad overwhelming due to the fact that the new circumstances were setting in. I believe all people go through these mixed feelings when they start a new job. You feel useless and somewhat lost and very impotent. I know that soon I will be stressing over how much I have to do, but we all know I am very impatient :-). I explored the office a little. Found the cafeteria and it is huge! I guess you would expect that from EDS. I meet my new co-workers as well. I am now in a small cube with all the action. The lady next to me is a loud mouth. I need a white noise machine, my radio, or maybe an anvil to drop on her head to shut her up. I don't think her mom taught her "inside voice". She is a recruiter so she is on the phone ALL DAY LONG. Someone might die if I ever have to miss my coffee in the morning. Okay, she isn't that bad, but I really don't miss her when she is away from her desk. But, as each day goes on and I claim what I want to do and reject the stuff I really shouldn't be doing, I feel empowered each day. Fake it until you make it -- my other motto :-).
Well, back to studying. I need some more review of exchange rates and the financial environment of international business. Maybe that will help me sleep...........
