Office or better yet Cube

Well on day one of my new job, I spent most of the day in training and trying to get my computer and telephone working properly. It is interesting working for such a large firm, as they have a call center for computer assistance. It is like calling Verizon, except these people actually care and want to help. It is however still a phone conversation and sometimes can be frustrating. So my space is in a quad of cubes. Basically it is four cubes down a aisle. Me three other 'quad mates' are great. We are a pretty young crown down our aisle and I am grateful to have fun people to sit around all day. The first project I am going to be working on is a High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane addition to a really busy intersection in Tacoma, WA. My first task was to spend time reviewing the design manuals and try to get up to speed on the requirements. A challenging task seeing as how this is not real exciting reading. It should be a fun challenging project to work on since I will be exposed to many new techniques and requirements. The pictures show my space after a few days, and the board shows the messages left for my by my quad. On a side note, my first Friday was ended with a happy hour (hours) to a local pub. I think I could make that a Friday routine, as it was a nice way to wind down the first week.
