second stop, JOB!

at last! first day of my job fell on my birthday. it is a company policy that during his first day, a new hire would be introduced to the rest of the *company*. ms anj [my friendly and pretty HR] went like: "hi, (name of the person or group of people). this is lg, today is his first day and also his birthday". people were like saying, "oh hi! happy birthday!". that is why, i believe that i was the person during that day that has received like a million *happy birthday* greetings! [with a little exaggeration, of course ;p]

after the hi's and hello's in the libis head office, i was *delivered* to the project assignment - Meralco main building in ortigas. kumusta naman? security has been as tight as a hole of a needle during my first day. before i could enter in my floor, i have to ask the guards to open the door for me. they have this floor very secured since this floor is the data center. good thing, i have been issued a magic key (the white card key ;p) to let me go in and out of the floor.

when finally i was assigned a desk, i immediately checked the desktop they have given me. it is a hewlett-packard vectra VE cpu. but... Intel Pentium II 333MHz ZZZZzzzzzz..... (sorry, i dozed off). i checked... no! no internet! what? i have a landline in my desk and i thought of connecting this *abacus* cpu via dial-up. but lucky me, i now have a net connection after one week. now, i can be seen online (especially Y!M), though if i appear to be offline, i am invisible ;p

good luck to a CS graduate like me, my first project is to document an alien computer system! fine, i have been documenting all my college life, but documenting a *what the heck* system is really absurd. oh well...

but because, i was a good interviewee during one of the job interviews here, i said that i was receptive to the idea of dealing with the business side of IT and CS. pordat! i am also being assigned to determine a particular business unit (perhaps two units) whether to determine it as *should be a closed shop*.
for crying out loud, i only took econ11! friendship connections, do not fail me now... ;p
