As I stroll into work today at 7:58, there is no one here. Now if you all recall, I'm a very early riser for work and tend to get into the office in the states around 6:30-6:45ish. I cannot do that here since the bus that I take doesn't first leave until 7:45. I was planning on taking the train for my first 30 days here from Farnborough to Aldershot and then catch a bus from the Aldershot rail station to work. Well come to find out, there is a bus that actually picks up at the Farnborough station and goes straight to the offices! Wow does that save some time. I did find out today that the employees at JCI in UK first start out by getting 21 holiday days (vacation) and 8 bank holidays as they like to call them. WOW. I'm really excited for that.
The building here is very cool. It though the buildings that I've all worked in so far here at JCI have been really nice - but this one is above all! There are 4 towers as they like to call them - and JCI occupies half of tower 1. The whole Royal Pavilion is a CSC headquarters for Europe. CSC is one of our customers in the Global Workplace Solutions group. We therefore maintenance these buildings. The cubicles - well there aren't cubicles really. They are more like pods I would like to call them. I'm in a pod with 5 other desks. So when I look up, I can see other people working since the walls aren't more then a foot tall. It's fine really and I like the atmosphere.
Pictures to come once I feel comfortable to take pictures around this place without anyone thinking that I'm completely crazy.
On the bright side - I put an offer on a place to live in Guildford! The landlord accepted the offer
''Jolly Good''
