First Day at Work

Directly one day after my arrival I started working at Kony Solutions Inc. If you would ask me to summarize my first day in one word I think funny fits best. My day started at 8 o'clock. I should begin working at 10 am as it was my first day I decided to get up early. After breakfast I started wondering where my cab is. So I called my contact person and she told me that the cab will arrive a bit later, about 10:30. The 30 minutes I used to talk with my new roommates and they all had the same experience. So it is normal that the cab will be a bit late at the first day. I think I told you already that there are now street signs, even less house numbers. So it is the same like the day before the cab driver don't know where my apartment house is. After some more calls my cab arrived at 12:30. Because it was not my fault I had a short first day.

Then I met the first time Sandeep. I had with him a short phone interview at the beginning of October and some email conversations. He gave me a short overview about the structure of the department, same facts about the founding of the company and information about the product I shall sell and what I will exactly do in the next months. I think our short introduction session was after 2 or 3 hours finished. But now the next funny things happened. I really hoped that work will be this way every day but I figured out some days ago that the funny games they/ we played at the afternoon was only part of the upcoming holiday Diwali. 

My colleagues from the Business Development department battled against the guys from the finance department. They played a jigsaw puzzle. This means you mix two or more puzzles and you have to finish the puzzle as soon as possible. The superman puzzles weren't really complicated they only had 30 parts. After this battle we worked again for one hour and then they played charade. They had to explain Hindi or Telegu movies so I wasn't able to guess. But it looks really funny. Ah and at the end another nice detail. The first five days I shared a laptop with Sandeep so work wasn't really efficient.
