First day at Apple

I apologize for not posting yesterday, we did not have internet temporarily.Today was the first day working at Apple. It was a day mostly filled with orientations and introductions (both with man and machine). In the morning was the four hour orientation, including mostly paperwork and them telling us that if we told anything to anyone about what we are doing, then they would kill us. So… I probably will never be able to tell you about what happens in my day, except big things like, “I went to work.” Sorry.After orientation, we met our manager and our team for lunch. They are really cool, and there is only a few of them (I am the sixth person on the team). The cafeteria is really good, a certain break from dorm food. After lunch I got a tour of my department (the Developer Technologies division), and met lots of people. Then my manager and I took a walk about the campus and talked shop before he showed me my cube. OK, it’s a cube, yes, but it has a huge window, and it is really open. The walls are only like 3 feet high, and it is really not bad at all. I actually think it is better than most of the offices (most people have offices, I saw like maybe three other cubes). Then I got to configure my workstation, and get all setup with accounts and such. I then spent the next two hours learning about my team, and the way IB (Interface Builder) does stuff. And we ended the day with the 4 o’clock coffee run.It was a good day, and Apple is a great company. It really is a good company. I don’t think it is just my love for Apple here, but just knowing more about the company. Apple rocks, and I am excited to be a part of it this summer.See my workspace here.
