Day 1 CVD

First day of work at the new office.... it was OK. The building is nice. The walls were newly painted although we don't experience the after smell of the paint. Our desks needed some housekeeping, so we did it ourselves. The place I am assigned to is just fine although the blinds have to be closed down otherwise, my eyes will really hurt since the reflection of the sun is glaring at my monitor. My "neighbor" here has to live with that!

OK, so I came in to the office with an officemate of mine. I got up at 7am and quickly went to my daily morning routine. Half past 7, I'm done and waiting for her to fetch me. She drove along Bur Oak Ave. then turned right at McCowan Road, then right at 16th Ave. It wasn't jammed yet during that time, about 15mins after we left our place. It began to feel congested at around 10 to 8am and near 404. Luckily, past that, we were OK. She didn't turn left at Leslie as there was a long line of car waiting to take the LEFT signal. So we went straight and turned left instead at Valleymede, a residential area which her friend taught her would be a better choice. So, we drove along Valleymede. Houses there were the same color. You can just imagine living there and finding your wrong front door, which is by the way, no surprise. Hehe.

After about 5 minutes, we were already parking her car. The ground floor parking area was already crowded. Just imagine people coming in really early in the morning just to avoid the traffic. I have to know how to drive by next year. I don't want to rely on anyone already and I don't want to commute either. HIHI.

It's almost 2:30pm and I'm sooo sleepy!!!! I'm doing some documentation right now. Tomorrow will be full blast work day. Except for some who are just coming in and unpacking and stuffs. I guess Tim Horton's will be very busy every morning here as these people are such coffee fanatics although there is FREE coffee here. They still prefer the ones at Tim's. Back to work now!
