A Mixed Bag

Day 2 has been ok. The end of my days seem to always be better, although this may be linked to the fact they end up in bars with a pint of the black stuff, this time with an old friend from Accenture who joined Wipro about 9 months ago.

Overall a quiet day in the office although it was punctuated with lots of highly frustrating teething problems such as wireless and printer connectivity (you see I'm not doing anything useful yet). I managed to get through my little list of self-imposed tasks for the day so feeling quite positive about life. I also found the time to have my "last supper" in an Accenture building - I dropped off my laptop around lunchtime so I could savour the delights of the Old Bailey canteen for old times' sake. The atmosphere in the Wipro office is quite bizarre - it's a real mix of Europeans and Indians - much more evenly balanced that I had imagined. There's also a real buzz about the place insofar as it's a small open space office and people are quite happy to talk at each others' desks....my iPod is going to become an essential part of my office life, although I fear that my big hefty noise reduction headphones are probably one step too far.

I'm looking forward to meeting my boss tomorrow for 3-4 hours...I suspect that is when the fun will begin. I'm also looking forward to travelling through to Paris tomorrow evening before a day in La Defense on Thursday.
