Curtis’ Day
Curtis walked to work this morning! The weather was pretty nice, even a bit warm. He got to see a beautiful view from the bridge.
Curtis got to work and saw a message about an issue in the boardroom, so went to sort that out.
Curtis had a colleague from the Winnipeg office visiting to show him some stuff.
Curtis got to see a lot today about how Apple Mac laptops are setup, so he went all through that.
As well as going through that, he looked at onboarding and offboarding people.
Curtis got some ginger chicken from the Vietnamese place opposite the road. It was a lot of food!
It was all of a sudden 17:00 and time to go home.
Kim’s Day
Kim got ready in the morning and then headed to Downtown for her first day at work. It was such a beautiful, sunny morning.
When Kim got to work she had a little tour and got a few things set up before heading into a couple of orientation meetings. The orientation went on until midday where Kim met with a few members of the team and learned more about her role and new company.
One thing that was cool was the kitchen! There are various types of coffee machines, including one with a milk foamer. This is very exciting as Kim will now be able to make amazing hot chocolates and coffees in the winter. There is also a massive soft drink fridge too!
At midday, Kim and the rest of the team went out for lunch at Zefferellie’s, a lovely Italian place just around the corner. Kim had a spaghetti with meat sauce, but only the half portion as the meals where huge! This was a really nice way for Kim to get to know the team in a relaxed environment.
When they went back, some of the team headed into a meeting to organise the company’s meeting rooms for the second half of the week as there will be an optional company wide hackathon, which is very exciting! This will give Kim a chance at getting to know lots of people in the company and really help out, a great way to start a new job!
After this meeting Kim continued on more of the orientation for another hour or so before heading back to get desk to do some reading and get a better understanding of the systems and apps.
Just before the end of the day Kim got a cool swag pack of a mug, backpack and laptop case!
Walking Home Together
We met after work and walked home together. Kim told Curtis about her first day and Curtis told Kim about what he did today.
The walk didn’t seem to take long at all and we even got more beautiful photos!
Wifi!
Once we got home, the guy from Shaw cable was there too, right at the perfect time!
He came in and very quickly set up the wifi and we were good to go. When we first tested, when nothing else was using the network, we got 320mbps download, which is excellent!
We then used this to setup the TV and xbox, as well as our Mac & phones.
We are now all connected and ready to go.
Walk
We went for a walk after the Shaw guy left, partially to look in shops for some things but also just to walk. The weather was still nice, so why not?
Grilled Cheese
We came back home as we got hungry and we just made some grilled cheese sandwiches and had some ketchup crisps on the side.
Curtis played some games in the evening and we watched some TV together, too.
It’s nice to have things set up!
