1st Day @ Work

Today is my 1st day of work & it is my very 1st official work in Canada. Had to wake up @ 5:30 am to get ready today & left the house about 6:20 am. Walk all the way to the Skytrain & transit to a Bus to the place I work. (Total Journey time = 1 hr) Working hour is 8 - 4 pm.

The company was pretty big (abt 4 floors) & everyones sit in a cubicle (even the Managers) .... it have a Cafeteria, Gym, 3 Small Pantry at each level, Personal resting area (for personal phone calls or small meeting) etc. It was like a maze in the office as everything looks the same.

Including me there are 5 new employees for the Temp Admin job. Hence this week is a training & HR orientation week. Moreover, we were all given a Log In username & password for accessing the Network & Internet - moreover we have our own personal e-mail but we still do not have our own PC to work with. PC setup will complete by Friday.

The most overwhelming thing about today is that we were each given the Company Guideline Booklets to read through which was about 50 pages thick & all the points was like it was written by a LAWYER ...
