This is a great site!
the first week / week and a half was kinda slow. It's starting to pick up though. I hate the "rookie" initial phase.
bored at work?

man. I would fire all you guys :lol:
I probably kill about 30 min of paid time a day. Sometimes I check this forum, Bimmerforums and E30Tech. Sometimes I goto the bathroom.

That is something that I find patently stupid about most companies (mine included). When new people come on there is rarely a plan on how to get them up to speed and productive starting on day one. Its, "Well read a little bit of this, talk to so and so, listen in on the meeting..." What a waste of time it is to not have a process for getting new people acclimated.
- Evan - 08-22-2005
yeah, thats a weakness with every company Ive been with.
Feel lucky if you get to do nothing for a couple weeks though, I got baptism by fire. Straight into a 60-80hr per week project using tech I didnt know

i'm with you and G, definitely. although i've been thrown in the deep end on a few oddball jobs my superiors basically wait for a job to come around that "suits" the stage of experience i'm at. granted, i don't sit around with a thumb up my ass all day (i try to memorize protocols, inventory, clients and their orders, etc) but there is only so much i can do for 8 hours.
i had an internship last year that had an outstanding regimen for acclimating noobs, but that was the result of a massive renovation of their intern program by an experienced team of designers. my situation is with a much smaller company that has priorities elsewhere i guess.
