Everything worked out well. I found the place where I had to go to on Monday. Marcos has been found and reached.
On my first day noone was expecting me. I had to wait at the reception for someone to pick me up :-), but after all it got all sorted. I got my entrance passes/photocards, got the long term car park pass. Got access to computers. Then on the second day I got my company notebook, and Blackberry. Which I am not sure I am happy about :-) The Development Centre where we are located is an open office space. With lots of desks chairs, connections, plugs. You sit wherever you want. And there are probably ten other company is based here too. So no owned desk/chair. Everything belongs to everybody.
So far, all seem ok. But more detailed, my morning happenings without showing off:
- Waking up at 7 am, I hear the seagulls are crying
- Feeding the cat
- Opening the blinds
- Having a shower
- Making a coffee
- Ironing my clothes
- Listening to SGR FM - Ipswich radio
- Getting to the car at 08:30
- Leaving the secured parking (electric gates, remote controller, just like Rubeska in Vysocany :-))) I LOVE IT)
- Leaving Ipswich
- Arriving to Martlesham Heath
- Arriving to Adastral Park
- Arriving to workplace at 08:46, and yes, that is 16 minutes by car.
What can I say? Even the traffic is great, as in the morning the roads towards the city centre are congested, but I am leaving the city, driving on almost empty roads.
Still learning a lot at work in the beginning. But hopefully tomorrow I will be doing some real work also. It seems pretty exciting, I wonder If I will say the same in about 3-4 months. The team is totally international, like it was in Prague, no two person with the same nationality. We have slovakian, american, australian, english, indian, brazilian people ..., and also a hungarian now :-)
Everybody is very helpful, and fun, going out for lunch together, to the HUB, the main cafeteria for the 4000 people working on site. (OMG this is a city!!!) Wherever you see, are buildings, and at the top, there is the Pegasus radio tower, with its 60m heights.
The city, next to Adastral Park, Martlesham is serving this complex. Most of the workers here are living there. Interesting to see, that I am part of something great. All I have to do now is to prove, I belong here.
