My first day of work was quite exciting. I got off at a different train station--a completely different route from the one I took yesterday when I was scoping out the place. I was late and I knew that I could not do anything about it. Got there 15 minutes late. :( Bummer! It took me a little over an hour to get there.
DHL office is pretty neat. Security is tight and I quickly learned that it was necessary due to the nature of the logistics industry. Everyone I have met so far has been nice and laid back. I even saw people wearing jeans. Yaye, I might do that sometime!
We started the day off with Kim telling us more about the project. Not too long later, we got some lunch. Whoa, the food is so good here and it is on the house! They drink a lot of coffee here. Practically every floor has a coffee machine. I already chowed down two cups today.
Nothing much happened today besides our grand tour of the facility. We were stuck in the conference room without internet connection and Kim did not send us the PP slide yet. Oh well, the dreary weather certainly fits our work. Typical first day of work I guess.
Getting our security cards was quite a hassle. We had to wait almost the entire day to get our cards--they were printed in limited editions. I still have to get mine and it is already 4pm.
