Welcome to IWETHEY!

Post #379,566 by malraux 8/19/13 10:35:47 PM Reply	iwethey--++ Today was my first day as the Chief Architect at an automotive finance/credit firm. Fun times ahead, but the commute is a killer: 45 minutes now, where before it was 4.5 minutes from bed to den. Lots of Java, Oracle, messaging, and so on, and enough of a target rich environment to keep me busy for a while. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Post #379,763 by malraux 8/22/13 9:05:22 PM Reply	It's not the length of the commute I don't mind the drive per se as I'm taking the opportunity to learn a spoken language. The hours, however, force me to get up very early (for me at least), which time shifts my bedtime (because of my sleep issues) to the point where I don't have a lot of room left in the evening for family or decompression. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Got a great pair of noise canceling headphones. Click, the train disappears. I've got a great last gen Nexus 7, and I'm about 400 pages into HHGTTG, using an easy interface that I don't need glasses for. I also love my smoke breaks. 40 floors down, FAST, smart elevators, walk outside, and get a continuous pageantry of NYC on sunny summer day. WOW. It's amazing, and rarely duplicating. I'm going to buy a decent pair of rollerblades (again), to use to/from the train station in NYC. M will dropoff and pickup locally. As far as decompress with family, it's perfect. I am in my office, EARLY, 7:30, but I leave guilt free to catch the 5:17 home. I get home 5 minutes before B does, M has already prepared dinner to be waiting before she picks me up at the train station, so it all hits perfectly for the next hour or so.

Post #379,764 by malraux 8/22/13 9:06:52 PM Reply	Thanks all. Office with nice windows and southern exposure suitable for plants, great coworkers, and even a numbered underground parking space. I've certainly had worse work situations by far. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
