My First Day @ HP

Am in office now. Today is my second day. I do not have much work to do. Think this is a good time to pen down a few lines about my first day in office at HP.

Monday, the 12th of December, was my first day at HP. My project manager, Marilyn Allison, picked me up from my hotel at 9. We drove to the HP campus. She showed me various stores and markets on the way that I could find useful. The drive was not long. It took us about 20 minutes to reach HP. She drove me around the HP campus which is quite huge.

Marilyn then had my access card done. (I don’t like the card. My photo has come out bad in it, as usual). She had some work to complete so we went up to her cubicle. What a place it was. A long area with plenty of huge cubicles in it. One could easily get lost. It whole place was decorated a bit for Christmas. There were blue colored balloons hanging from each cubicle making it all the more confusing to find your way. There was big flamingo hanging from the ceiling over Marilyn’s desk. The next time I want to look for Marilyn, I know what to look for. The flamingo is now the only way I can find my way to Marilyn’s desk.

While Marilyn was completing her work, Kimberly talked to me about the project. She gave me important links that could help me and yes, She gave me an egg-shaped chocolate with a little toy inside it. :-) Kimberly then took me around the entire floor.

It was lunch time at 11:30. Marilyn had planned to take me out for lunch. Tonya Stefan, Alecia Hunter, and Nazerena Washburn were to meet us at the restaurant. Marilyn said that they have decided to go out to their favorite restaurant for lunch. We drove up to the restaurant and guess what the restaurant was called – “Passage To India”. It was an Indian restaurant!! Marilyn told me that they really loved Indian food.

The 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed the nice Indian buffet. The food was wonderful. We had rice, dal makhani, nan, butter chicken, tandoori, gulab jamun and much more. It was hard to believe that we could get real good Indian food in the US. And even more to believe that the Americans love the Indian food.

After lunch, I accompanied Tonya to my cubicle. The cubicle is huge. I have a big cubicle just to myself. I have the toy from inside the egg-shaped chocolate (the one Kimberly gave me) to decorate my cubicle. I had no work yesterday. I was just reading through some material till about 4:30. Then I called the hotel and had a car to take me back home. It looks so good. You just need to come out of the building and a nice car awaits you to take you back home.

So that was my first day. I enjoyed it to the fullest. The best part was the Indian hotel and the Indian food. I loved it. :-) And not the mention the people here are great. :-)

Tarun, Marilyn may have a flamingo above her desk but what about you?? If you don't have any stuff above your desk, ask someone to put some mistletoe above yours. [PS Mistletoe is a christmas shrub] :) Keep us informed on the developments.
