I've started my new job. I work for a company called SAIC (see SAIC.com for details) and they have me contracted to the Veteran's Administration for a big project working on the health and administrative data repositories for veterans all over the world. My title is Communications Manager (or Communications Lead - depending on which Org chart you look at). I facilitate communications between the SAIC project people and the VA people. I also oversee 4 Technical Writers on the project.
I have a cubie on the 4th floor that has a window - how I lucked out and got that since I an a Newbie, I'm not sure, but I like it! I can look out and see construction on the new building next door and I can look down and seen a little creek running between the buildings and if I look to the right I can see the valley. I took some pictures with my phone and they didn't turn out to be spectacular, but I'll post them any way.
Also, yesterday was turkey day (Thanksgiving) and I was rather sick with a cold/flu that I came down with the evening of my first day of work. I know, my timing sucks! But the family had a great get together. See Cerra's blog for pictures and details. (http://blog.cerrastuff.com/).
This is my cubical and the view from my windows:
