Title: Oh my God, this new job is overwhelming
Post by: john on January 25, 2006, 07:37:46 AM
The company is great so far.  There is so much to learn I don't know where to start.  Worse they are basically like "you're on your own."  :o  I finally said to the guy who is on the way out that I need him to sit me down and show me where shaZam! is on the network and explain some stuff to me so I have a starting point.  Man am I sleeping well at night  :laugh:

I know I'm going to like the place, but it will be like taking 5 school classes in 3 months  :laugh:  I went from thinking I knew a lot to realizing I don't know shaZam!. :laugh:

Life begins when you realize you don't know shaZam!...   :thumb:

Really though...  In a few months you'll be a friggen master, thinking back and laughing at yourself for not getting it.

But, you'll still be able to laugh at me for not getting it.   :laugh:

ya gotta love those jobs.  When I used to be in IT that happened from time to time.  I would get assigned a new contract and go and start working at the new company and just be like "wow, oooooookkkkkkkk" and be kind of dumbrstruck for a couple days until it all starts to sink in and the stuff that seemed new and difficult all seemed to work itself out and made sense yet again.
