Quiet on the Eastern Front
September 13, 2006
I’ve been quiet for the last week or so – that’s mostly a factor of being incredibly busy getting my life in order. Moving to a new country, and all of the various and sundry things that go with it – buying a car, unpacking huge numbers of boxes, disposing of insane amounts of packing material, etc.
I’m settling in to the new job – I’m alternately awed and overwhelmed by the sheer size of the organization. My life has been in small companies to this point – it’s much like the feeling of my first year biology class at U of T that had 3000 people in it – the professor was at the front of the auditorium with a big screen behind him, and nobody ever really met him. I imagine I’m going to have a similar relationship to the CEO here – that is, no relationship at all.
It’s very different than nCircle, where I could walk in to Abe’s office and talk.
But size has its benefits, no doubt. More on that over the coming year.
