I have found myself on the much despised subway with a smile on my face. Going home is another matter because during training, I had to work 9 to 5 and the subway is so crowded around 5 that it is most unpleasant. As I get to work early regardless of my starting time, the morning trip is pretty good. This coming week, I will have switched to my regular hours of 8 to 4 so the subway will be a bit less crowded.
I'm looking forward to this continuation of my career. The company is smaller and inclusive. Lots of women and different cultures. No offices, everyone including the boss are in cubes! My adventure continues.
