The New Expert
Hey folks. I hope everyone is having a good day (including Nick, who's been having a rough go of it lately).
My week just keeps plodding forward at the clinic. I had my first full day in the office today after two and a half days of orientation. It just so happens that the people I've been working with in the short time I have been in the office were both out of the office today so there was essentially no one left (except for the two receptionists) that knew who I was or what I do.
Well, yesterday, I got my first assignment so it's not like I had nothing to work on. Apparently, I am now the Java expert in the office. Based on that, I've been asked to train some of the other folks on the team (and now it sounds like I might be training some folks from some other teams) in Java. It's kinda odd to be the new guy on the block and be expected to be the "expert" in something.
Anyway, I spent most of my day today reading a book about servlets and JSPs - trying to review some of the stuff I learned when I was with Schneider. I just hope I remember enough to be able to teach these folks what it is they want to know.
Lizzy is still stuck down in Texas and is thoroughly frustrated. She's been down there all week and has had almost nothing to do. She's really just there because IBM wants "someone" to be there. They don't have anything to do, but they just want to have someone there. So, apparently, Liz is the victim of the week. It just stinks because she'd much rather be home and now she's down there doing nothing and getting behind on the work she has to do here in Rochester. She'll be home tomorrow, anyway. That'll be nice.
I did find a couple good links online that you should all check out if you have time. They're just plain funny.
A discussion of quantum physics -- It's quite possible that no one will find this article as funny as I did, but I thought I'd put it out here, anyway. A word of warning for any animal/cat lovers - proceed with caution. Enjoy.

Well, that's all for me. Take care, folks.
