New Job
2020-03-11
-------------------
This is currently the second week of my new job. So far I am happy
and not having to commute halfway around the world (exaggerating,
of course) every day is doing me tons of good. Slowly I learn what
is what, domain specific language and overall structure of the
product.
My first task is to rip out the integration to an external system
and replace it because that system will be upgraded and the new
version breaks basically everything. Fun stuff since I have to
touch most of the product's components. We'll see how this plays
out, but I get a better understanding every day.
The keyboard [1] is great. Still mistyping often, but just have to
power through that. I am getting used to it and I can't wait to
receive the trackball module. I hate how I have to leave the
default positon to reach for the mouse since it is so comfortable.
The other office stuff is all sorted out, except for the chair.
Unfortunately it started sagging randomly, maybe it's giving up
after almost ten years of daily usage. Can't complain, since it was
cheap but still affords a good sitting position and does not hurt
my back like so many other office chairs. Soon it is time to
upgrade to something serious I fear.
Let's see how the rest of the month goes.
