New Amusing first day
I arrived in the mist of a major crisis, so my new project manager and divison manager didn't have time to talk to me. Plus, the new system administrator they are hiring doesn't start till the 30th, and nobody could spare time to do more then setup the barebones on my system.

So pretty much I read C++ code and filled out paper work today. Eventually I may find out what the job entails.

New Wing it.
At least they had a barebones running for you.

Some places expect you as a developer to setup your whole machine the way you like it... period.

Anyway, good luck and grab a firehose.

It is fine to have low opinions of people's friends when they are assholes.
