It's going to be a quick one tonight.
I went back to work today.
Here's what I found.
- I'm back in the location where I started my contracting/consulting career. The building is 100 x better than the one that used to be there.
- The onboarding process has been one of the smoothest I've encountered. I've got a laptop. login, email, Teams. All set up by 9.30 a.m.
- The people are lovely.
- As I've gone back into a bank, I think this is the most time I've spent around people dressed in suits. And covered shoes that aren't trainer, or Birkenstocks.
- I've nearly finished my compliance modules. They're all the same. They all say the same things. Don't be a dick. Don't send files to you home email. Don't share any information with anybody outside of the company. Be nice to people. At least this job doesn't have modules on the best practice of Personal Protective Equipment or Ringfencing. Hated that module.
- The coffee shop in the foyer next door does good decaf.
- Getting up, putting on structured clothing and covered shoes and make up, then arriving at the office at 8.30 a.m. was hard.
- Ritalin does help with concentration. It's fabulous.
- And I am absolutely buggered so I'm going to join the cat in bed.
- And I only have to front up to the office once or twice a week.
Anyway, I'm off to bed. I think I'm going to like it here for the next couple of months.
Night.
