new beginnings ;)
Well today was the first day of many days at my new place of work. Rhythm and Hues (www.rhythm.com). I'm so damn happy for working at this new place, that i could barely contain myself. I was practically smiling the whole day :P.
The day started with me driving from home (Cerritos,ca) to the companies building near LAX. I was supposed to get there at 9:30. Luckily i gave myself enough time, but the drive wasn't pleasant. Understandably because i live so far, but my commute could have been worse. I got to the office on time, and dealt with the first portion of the day, HR paperwork. Before that I met with another new recruit, Dane, I think it was Dane..or maybe Dwayne, couldn't understand him too well with his Texan accent. Interesting guy. He had gotten another position in another department, so i didn't see him for the rest of the day.
Next was lunch, which my supervisor Harrison, took me and Fred (the guy training me) out. We hit up a local place , called the Shack. It was pretty damn good, mainly burgers and sandwiches. During lunch I got a chance to know Harrison and Fred better, and I was able to clarify a few things. Specifically when my hours were. To my amazement Harrison told me that I could work Monday through Friday, and have Saturday and Sunday be my days off. Previously, we had agreed my days off were Thursday and Friday, so when i heard I could work Monday through Friday only, I was pretty happy. Now i can hang out and do stuff on the weekend,like a normal person :). Unfortunately i lose my Friday nites, I'll still be working M-F 4pm to 1am, so Friday nite outings won't be happening :(. But my schedule is pretty nice from what i was offered several weeks ago. :)
After Lucnh, I had an educational portion, which i was given an overview of the company. We went over the In's and Out's of the company and what each department does. We also went over some basic websites that would be useful for me. There was also a pretty extensive tour of the whole studio which was pretty nice too. After this portion of the day was over, i went over a little training with Fred, and started learning more of the technical concepts my job would be dealing with.
Overall, i had a pretty good first day. Learned a whole lot, and met some really awesome people. I'm really liking it here, the people are great , my supervisor is really laid back and understanding, and the atmosphere is just excellent. Very much looking forward to sticking with this company for sometime. :)
Oh and Heroes was fucking amazing tonite. God i love that show! :D
