first day on the job

today was a little unnerving.
started off okay. got to the office round 9 after an hours worth of traffic. got in the elevator and habitually hit 7. took the passing of a few floors before i realized my new floor was actually 6. got off on 6 and felt very strange to be starting my day there. resisted an immediate urge to get back in the elevator and go home. the rest of the day wasn't too bad. the plasma crew took me out to lunch. they're a sociable bunch. i should get along with most everyone. there are definitely some strong personalities here. everyone speaks their mind. i'm lucky to be working with a seasoned crew of people. most everyone carries some serious street cred with them. Dennis Harper is the new DD. We're going to be wingmen in this. He's been in the industry for over 20 years. He did this old game called 'tubin' as well as 'primal fear', the stop motion animated fighter.
there's still some hate going on from the platform team. it seems that now that i'm on the 'other side' they're reluctant to invite me to meetings... think people are just messin with me for the most part though. stayed late to review some more docs and get a headstart on the Black & white 2 expansion pack req's.
