Day 3 of the new job is at an end, and things are looking very nice indeed. I'm learning oodles about how to use Oracle databases (though I still know nothing, relatively speaking -- Oracle is a big thing). The working environment is physically very comfortable, if too far away from central London for my liking. The people are nice and reasonably friendly, and I am slowly getting to know people and vice versa. And I'm earning a pound every four minutes. That's 50p as I write this message. It's not hard to love your job when that's the case :-)
