Holy crap am I excited about my new job. I'm sure that my excitement is going to wane as it IS a job, but for now, I can't wait to start in a week. I went in to sign papers for HR last Thursday and found out some cool things:
*There is a gym in our building that we get to use for free. No excuses now! I just have to figure out whether I want to go before or after work.
*I get money towards my park & ride commute. In fact, the stipend will probably pay for the whole monthly pass. I'm still trying to figure out what bus is going to be the best, but I was worried that I was going to have to drive the entire way. That way the bus driver gets to deal with the winter conditions and/or traffic- not me!
*There is a possibility that I could telecommute up to two days a week once they get me up and running. Sa-weet! Doing work in my pajamas? Sleeping in a little later because I won't have a commute? Sign me up!
*Fridays are dress down days. Also awesome. Although we are allowed to wear jeans, I think that I will abstain from jeans at least the first couple of weeks. I want to give off a more "professional" image.
*Most of the managers (including the regional manager) are women. I really like working for women.
I am very lucky in that I was able to snag a job before graduation. A lot of my fellow J.D. holders have not been as lucky because of the crappy economy. I am counting the days until my first (real) paycheck in over three years. The second week of September can't come soon enough!
