This is a great site!

the first week / week and a half was kinda slow. It's starting to pick up though. I hate the "rookie" initial phase.

bored at work? Wink

That is something that I find patently stupid about most companies (mine included). When new people come on there is rarely a plan on how to get them up to speed and productive starting on day one. Its, "Well read a little bit of this, talk to so and so, listen in on the meeting..." What a waste of time it is to not have a process for getting new people acclimated.

i'm with you and G, definitely. although i've been thrown in the deep end on a few oddball jobs my superiors basically wait for a job to come around that "suits" the stage of experience i'm at. granted, i don't sit around with a thumb up my ass all day (i try to memorize protocols, inventory, clients and their orders, etc) but there is only so much i can do for 8 hours.

i had an internship last year that had an outstanding regimen for acclimating noobs, but that was the result of a massive renovation of their intern program by an experienced team of designers. my situation is with a much smaller company that has priorities elsewhere i guess.
