Today marked my first day well and truly back among the gainfully employed.
It went well, all things considered, though I really didn’t do much.
I don’t have an employee ID yet, which all of my logins will be based off of, so I also don’t have an e-mail address and couldn’t be issued a laptop. Hopefully it should be all sorted out tomorrow.
I’m currently sharing a cubicle with the person I’m replacing, who is also training me to take over. Her last day is Friday, at which point she’ll be moving to a different group within the same company.
Apart from going over a few things and listening in on a conference call meeting that I’ll be on every week, I mostly just got showed around and introduced to people.
I saw a few ex-AOLers that I recognized and who recognized me, though they weren’t people that I was really friendly with. Not that I was hostile with them either; what I mean is that I didn’t have much cause to interact with them at AOL, so they were basically just familiar faces.
I don’t really feel up to writing a proper entry right now, but I thought I’d just give a quick update. Consider yourself updated.

Sounds like it went all right for a first day. How strange is it to have a cubicle and be trained by the person you're replacing instead of the "training" you got in the NOC or the call center? I felt pretty useless my first week in my current job. I didn't even have my own desktop until two or three weeks in. I had to use my personal laptop from home.
