Started my new job on Monday...

I leave at 5:45 to beat the traffic...it's a nice drive; once I clear the metroplex it's all country highways. The nice thing about starting the day early is that staying 'til 5:00 is staying late. I'm on salary here, so I'll have to watch my workaholism.

It's a small facility, but all brand-new equipment--and it was conceived of and designed to be completely paperless (ironically much more advanced than the big chain facility I came from in the big city).

So far, I've yet to see a Feild Engineer for my primary system (PACS in Radiology) and I haven't flown out for the vendor training yet, so I'm kind of poking around and taking inventory of things... not much I can do without even having a login yet.

I'm also shadowing the two other IT guys to get a taste of everything we support. Oh, btw, we're Biomed too. And we do the phones. And TVs. And Plant Ops is under the CIO (our boss) also. Basically I'm down this hallway with every non-clinical support department. I came here so that I can learn everything.

You won't see me much for a while. I'm still trying to get a footing on something I can be useful at, here.
