uber colleague
Tuesday, September 26, 2006
Today was the beginning of my second week at frog and I feel myself slowly coming out of my shell. By my reckoning, I should be a full-on tadpole by the end of the week, graduating from "annoying new quiet guy" to "annoying new guy that won't shut the hell up." This is a wholly new experience for me.
After one week, I still have a lot of adjusting to do. I've gone from working in a building with 17,000 esteemed colleagues to a significantly smaller space with around 70. From having a thousand in-house amenities to having sixth street and all it offers just two blocks away. From having earned the trust of my coworkers to having to earn trust all over again. I hope and expect to build relationships as strong here as I had at my old company. When the COO of a Fortune 200 company finds out you're leaving and calls to wish you well, I think that's some trust right there.
Anyway, back to the topic. I'm working with this guy, Jared, who is frankly a super-genius. I thought I was a geek, but I can't hold a candle (or a tube) to this guy!
