Job Report

I thought I'd post an update about my new job. It's going pretty well. Everyone's first week is always akward because you don't know what you should be doing and everyone else doesn't know what to tell you to do. You don't want to seem too dependant on your boss (all the while having no clue about what's going on) and your boss doesn't wants to give you independance. I'm not sure if anyone will ever solve the "first week" paradox.

But things are coming together now. I have a ton of meetings next week. Most of them I'll be "tagging" along, but by the end of next week I'll be setting up meetings on my own. I also get to go to this corporate meeting which should be a good experience.

The good thing is that I feel very comfortable in the hospital. The more I explore the career I've chosen, the more I know that I'm doing the right thing. It's pretty cool actually.

  • I think the first week paradox is pretty well solved in research. During your first week in a lab, all you do is read papers.
