I started a brand-spanking new job at the end of January.  This job is an absolute dream.  I am employee #29 – out of 29, I got great compensation and a great benefits package, and the people I’m working around are my vision of great co-workers. I don’t have anybody to supervise – which is fine by me.  I feel like a bar of gold was dropped into my lap.  This is by far the best job I’ve ever had that didn’t involve being shot at with RPGs, or mortars lobbed over a wall.

I do have one itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny little issue – just one, I swear.  My boss who’s a really great guy and I are having some communication difficulties. First off, I’m in the Austin office, he is in Houston.  Secondly, I don’t know if it’s just me, but I really have a hard time understanding him over the phone.  He kinda sounds like Boomhauer.  I only get about 1 in 3 or 4 words.  It’s like broken English – BAD.

So, communicating through email would be an option don’t you. Me, too. Maybe I’m just not used to his communication style.

Hopefully I can get over this tiny road hump. I really want to succeed here.  I was out of work for nearly a year and this bar of gold just fell into my lap.  I guess one of the corners has a tiny scratch in it.
