first day
It was odd that my PC at the new job is a lap top, and odder still that the O/S is Windows Server 2008, but anyhow, I got through the installation of the software on this lap top and started some testing. Ran into a few issues that I was able to iron out. I spent about 84 minutes with my manager where he went over the sysadmin manual with me to increase my knowledge in as quick a way as possible. Tomorrow this one-on-one training continues.
It is the first job I have working for a small company. There are maybe as many as 25 employees. Previously at E***** there were thousands, before that N** had thousands but in the single digits, and previously it was S** which had between 500 and 900 or so, and then before that it was C* which had tens of thousands, and then before that it was U** which also had thousands. So really it is a first time for me.
My few coworkers are very helpful and friendly, it just really sucks that the pay is so noticeably lower; everything else appears to be good.

congratulations.
The politics in small places are very different. I work for a large system, but my department is the smallest I have ever worked it. The Boston hospital had one million employees, all told, so I was told.
I have worked for large companies where the pay was good but the politics and backstabbing was just horrible.
I once worked for an accountant and the staff numbered 4. Luckily we all got along well otherwise it would have been a disaster.
For awhile I sewed curtains from my home. I loved it because I was creating something I could be proud of, I could choose my own hours and I worked alone which suited me just fine, but sadly the pay sucked otherwise I would still be doing it.
