First Day of Work?

Before I go on about work, I wanted to talk about my ride to work. We were not set up to ride on the company shuttle yet, so we took a taxi from the hotel to the office. Well, I should say that Matt, Steve, and Larissa took a taxi to the office. Sandesh and I took a rickshaw to work. There was no room in the taxi for all of us, and I wanted an adventure. A rickshaw is a three-wheeled adventure ride. It was one of the most exciting rides in my life. The drivers are absolutely crazy and these things are so maneuverable; words can’t even describe the ride you experience.

So, when I got to the office, it was time to start my first day. Well, not really. Today we had induction for new employees. It was boring. Most of the stuff discussed was for new, full- time hires. There were a few local interns, but no other Americans. So, we didn’t need to know most of the stuff that the different department people were talking about.

*lunch time*

Hooray, we got to leave the group at lunch time because they realized that what they were telling us was pointless. So, after we left the group, we met Sandesh and Tanu for lunch. I had a veg sandwich. It was good, but I am really starting to miss meat. The sandwich had tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, some kind of vegetable spread, and some kind of spicy powder combination sprinkled on. Then it was grilled like a Panini. It wasn't bad, but I really miss some lunch meat. Ooh, I can’t forget about my mango smoothie, boy was that good! So, after lunch, Sandesh and Tanu took us to another conference room where we met some of our future colleagues. They were very interesting and very eager to start working with us.  After we talked to them, the day was basically over....  We went home and went to bed almost right away.
