The Work Finally Begins

Ok, so I won't bore you with all the details of what's going on at work...unfortunately not a whole lot yet. Still in the process of getting "processed" so I'm still signing forms and figuring out what I want to sign and this and that. Plus HR is so busy with end of year payroll, it's been hard to catch them and ask any questions. Just a note: In Germany we only get paid once a month, so HR is trying to get everyone paid before Christmas.

Thursday and Friday are the official Induction days from HR, so not sure exactly what to expect from that as I have gotten most of my paper work filled out.

Some quick highlights so far from the week:

Monday: Started work here in new office. Not much else this day.
Tuesday: Got my new bank card and was able to log-in via the internet...but no balance yet as I won't get paid until Dec 22 or so. ;-)
Wednesday: Met some new folks within the concepting team. Oh, and today it has been snowing all day long, the ground is completely covered and the forecast calls for more tomorrow and Friday. I have included some pics from the 3rd story balcony of the Nokia building. Enjoy...

Congrats, dude! Found any leads on an apartment yet?

Thanks, Ricky. No, as of right now I am staying in a hotel, but will be moving to a furnished apt on Dec. 19. From there I will need to focus on final accommodations. There are so many other things that require my attention right now.

This is better than a soap opera and I will be tuning in on a regular basis - I need the laughs! It appears cold as crap there, but if may comfort you to know if has been in the 20s/30s this week with freezing rain. Miss you, George!
