Arrived in Santa Clara

[jbailey]

We arrived in Santa Clara two nights ago and have done the usual things like unpack, do laundry, buy groceries. Aside from that, a pretty mellow day yesterday. Randolph and his wife Amy came over for dinner. It's nice to start to get to know people. I spent a bunch of time looking at phone options, banks, PO boxes and mostly came away confused. How do Americans cope with so many choices?

Otherwise, I start my new job in just over an hour. Off I go!

Hope your first day is good and that you end up liking your job title :)

It was good, thanks!

My job title? I'm still not even sure what it is =)

Enjoy your first day at the googleplex! Hope you get to ride one of those scooters.

I haven't been brave enough to try one of the scooters yet, but they also have pedal bikes to go from building to building. I've had a few back-to-back meetings where the rooms were more than a 20 minute walk apart (If I knew where I was going, which I generally don't yet). The bikes are a real saver.

So, are they gonna make you hack in Python? ;b

Y'know, I don't even know what I'm allowed to say about that. One might infer a few things from them hiring Guido a while back, though. =P

But hey, I spend the last part of Friday trying to remember enough of the class I took a couple days earlier on the VCS I have to use. I don't know what the source files actually are yet.

Yeah!

So glad you've arrived safely.
Thinking about you as you begin work and as you all settle into a new life there. Eager to hear how it's going.
Love, Janet
