well, it's been a busy week (last week). i started at microsoft in my new role. i can say that i honestly underestimated the flood of resources and information that i would need (and want) to absorb. this had an impact on finishing up the stuff i needed to finish in other aspects of my life.
as with any job, the first week is somewhat of logistics and hr “stuff” -- the cool thing about ms is that a lot of it is automated and online. very little need to sign/fax/print, etc. -- the resources available at the company are amazing...truly amazing.
i met a lot of people and learned some quick things/issues/etc. i'm looking forward to the challenges and successes.
i can say that i was surprised at how much information is available to everyone within the company...that is great -- the company is opening it's kimono (within reason) to all employees.
keep looking for more details as i progress
