Today is the first day of the rest of this job.

I think I’m going to lock any posts that have to do with work, as I remember a bit of LJ drama with some Comcast employees and having problems with LJ posts. So, I’m going to make mine friends-only.

Up at 6:15. Out of the driveway at 7:09. In the parking lot of Comcast at 8:27. My hour-and-a-half estimation was almost dead on. M-14 was the easiest, and I-696 had more slowdowns than Van Dyke had.

So, since I was haf an hour early, I got to scope out and analyze my class. At least, those that didn’t call in and cancel. Someone whose last day at CoreComm was Friday started here today. Apparently, another mass exodus is being attempted. I couldn’t help but chuckle and wonder just how many familiar faces would end up migrating here.

There are typical training videos, typical motivational and “feel like a family” videos, breaking the ice introductions, etc. Typical orientation stuff. A whole day of HR: benefits, policies, and harassment, oh my!

The call center is fantastic. Pure good. Except for the flooding. And the blowers everywhere. Woosh.
