RE: New Job - Good Vibes Accepted Here
@krytonika - the first week and the last week of a job are what I call the 'honeymoon' periods. Hope you had a good first week :)

Hey @plushzilla
I never looked at a new job like that before... Very interesting and I think you are dead on!!
I actually had a great first week.. Lots of training info to process but I have a good feeling about the company - 99% of the time my gut is correct - the other 1% usually attributed to some bad take out food :)
@krytonika - I work in IT and most of the time I would be lucky to get access to a company laptop in the first week (the lack of having to worry about getting work done is what makes it seem like a honeymoon). As a contractor I get very used to the same training information and workplace health & safety talks so sometimes I also unknowingly tune out and daydream a little bit (again not that different to a honeymoon). People also seem to treat the last week on the job like a death sentence, but I prefer to think of it as an opportunity to start something new and exciting :)
Awesome explanation of your take on the HONEYMOON STAFE - I think it's post worthy and think a bunch of ppl would love reading about it because it's honest, funny and truthful - just an idea for ya..
Disclaimer: Not responsible for the 7 day payout - however if it hits $100 10% would be nice ;)
@krytonika - I'd love to make a post about it except I haven't got much else to add to it :p I don't think any of my previous posts have hit $10 let alone $100 :D
