I survived my first week of work at Verizon business. yay! :)

After being super-excited and actually a little nervous the first days (which apparently manifests in me talking a lot and asking a lot of questions – yes, even more questions!) they decided to give me IP training on the third day.
This was like a dream. Finally I was told the secrets of these things (Routers, switches, and so on..) that I had been using for years already but never managed to understand _how_ they work. They even told me that there is the possibility to get a Cisco CCNA certification once I have a fixed contract (not before march 2007, though) and they even pay the exam :D

anyway, it is far better than I imagined and the people are really nice. (plus I like the idea to work for the people that run the fastest and the largest Internet backbone of the earth) :P

Now I will have a quick shower and then go to the city to meet my new colleages at the irish pub. The guy I am going to replace is officialy celebrating his goodbye. (No, he left,. I just happened to come to the office for the first time on his last day)

I always wondered why IT people and callcenter people always hang out in irish pubs..

But now it’s Friday, Anna is in New York, Tuesday I will get my first salary and it’s time to go socializing! :D
