First Day

Today was my "first day" at the Guild. Not too much different than it's been. Except my teammates threw a little welcome party for me, complete with cake, flowers and a card. It was very nice of them. In addition, during my break, I ran into someone from residuals who gave me a big hug when I told her I was now permanent. Such a contrast to UCLA, in which I was greeted with glares, frowns and looks of suspicion, put into a windowless office (as my promised cubicle hadn't been built), and ordered to read several large policy manuals. Later in the day, I got an email from my boss with a 4 page word attachment describing the office dress and grooming codes. Sweet. I prefer the Guild, even if I'm making less than half what UCLA was paying me.

Another good thing about my office at the Guild--the wall in my area is adorned with portraits of Natalie Wood/Steve McQueen in Love with a Proper Stranger; Gregory Peck in Duel in the Sun and Monty and Liz in A Place in the Sun. Classic movie star eye candy certainly works for me.

Also, my annoying colleague MA is out for the entire week!
