This week I introduced a little bit of east coast humor to the office, which resulted in the entire staff having to sign a new an improved Storm8 Harassment and Discrimination policy, or as I like to call it, the Jesse Rule. Now everyone goes around accusing each other of harassment and enforcing company policy at the barrel of nerf guns.
I also left my iPhone on the Caltrain and had to buy a new one. I'd talk more about my feelings on that, but I'm still at work and I don't want to violate company policy.
Work is still great. We're getting a lot done, although it's frustrating slow sometimes. Once a decision has been made it gets executed with great speed, but getting out of the gate requires much more planning than doing it solo. That said, I prefer teamwork. These guys are very smart and make a lot more possible.
That said, I'm not sure what's going to happen with this job. They're now talking down the idea of raising my salary from what even the recruiter admitted was pretty low for the area, and are asking me not to do outside work. Coming up here was contingent upon getting that raise, and not taking work from my customers means losing a valuable foundation. Luckily I've met a couple people with lots of connections in the industry who are offering to find me another job. I'd hate to leave the Storm8 guys, but I gotta do what I gotta do.
Anyway, I found a place to stay that is much closer to work: only 10-15 minutes. That should give me an extra two and a half hours a day of free time! I move in sometime this week, so I'll let you know how that goes.
Hope all is well
