First week at Amazon

My first week on the job was nice enough, but not very eventful. There is even more to learn than the large amount I was already expecting. Hopefully for this coming week I will have all the accounts and permissions squared away and can begin to do real work.

I'm in a cubical but it is fairly isolated and has a nice view of Qwest Field (where the Seattle Seahawks play) and Seattle's container port. And I am right in the midst of the people in my group which will be quite useful. My group gets along great and has been very welcoming to me; we went to lunch every day and out to the waterfront after work on Friday.

Nothing much else to report, but I wanted to put something up since I know people are curious. I'm happy that I decided to work for Amazon; it is way nerdier than SAS which is what I was looking for.

Glad to hear you're doing well. Before you know it, you'll start to forget what Building R looked like ;-)
