I'm back from three weeks of orientation on-site and ready to really start working from home.
First, about the orientation, three weeks sounded like a long time. Too long. But after having met all the folks I'll be working with and learning all the processes, procedures, tracking systems, and other job ins and outs I have to admit that three weeks was necessary. There was a lot to learn and I'm not sure I could have done that from a distance without being glued to the phone for 8 hours a day. It would have taken some webconferencing, screen sharing, and phone combo to get an equivalent experience. And I would have missed out on a lot of the office culture.
Short version: I had a funnel in my ear for three weeks, missed my husband terribly, but do see the necessity of working with the new employer F2F.
So back to day one. I've had a head cold and haven't had a chance to do my office prep as much as I'd hoped. The house is quiet - which makes me sleepy. And so my biggest question is: Where to sit? We have wireless, so my options are plentiful. Think I'll start off on the couch...

I think there is danger in sitting and couch and being "too comfortable" and working. Don't you have a real desk to work at?
I do -- but the couch is so friendly. :-)
