Today was my first day (back) at work. It was a pretty uneventful day, really, though nice to see some familiar faces. My workspace is nice, but perhaps a little lonely in a corner along a walkway with high traffic. Soon a few files will be out and I'll have room for a big whiteboard and a couple of side chairs - that'll be a good day. There was also the usual password confusion and delay getting this and that, but all was sorted by day's end and I'd started digging into my first project: Auto Load Planning. These fact-finding exploration days of projects can be frustrating until I have the vocabulary figured out and something of a process map in mind. I'm looking forward to the days a few weeks from now when people come to my desk to compare notes and see what I think, as they did last summer, rather than my wondering if questions are making any sense or if they have been rendered irrelevant by slightly improper vernacular.
