The end of my first week

Ah, Saturday! Now this workin' girl has just finished her first week on the job. Ok well it wasn't a full week since I started on Tuesday but I think it's close enough. I think once I get past not knowing what in the hell is going on, I'll be ok. I already like the place. The people that I will be working with are very nice and easy to talk to. There is just a lot to learn, but all that will come in time. Yesterday I received my own company cell phone, so now I have two cell phones which is kind of odd. I'll also be getting my own business cards soon, Justin got his yesterday. I have a computer, but the cube that it's in will not be my area because that area was promised to someone else so they are trying to figure out where to put me. On Thursday's for lunch abunch of people like to go to this fast food place called Fat Burger, I didn't go this week because I had brought food but I think I will check it out this coming Thursday. Then on Friday's is when the office goes out to lunch, it takes about 15 min of arguing to decide where to go, usually the guys want either Mexican or bbq and the girls want Sweet Tomatoes (salad buffet) or Panera's. Yesterday Panera's won, so I had a very yummy chicken cesar sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup.
Thursday, on the stroke of 5pm when everyone was leaving a huge rainstorm came in and just started pouring. This was my first experience of a rain storm in the desert. It was unbelievable. In about 10 min, the roads started flooding and intersection were full of water. To get to my place there is a huge hill to drive up. It was incredible to be driving (very slowly) up this hill and on the other side of the road watching a river flowing stretching to the middle road. Lightning had struck and taken out the power in our area which also sent down the railroad arms right in front of my apt. So I sat for 20 min, in traffic, looking at my apartment and just waited very impatiently until the railroad ppl came and lifted the arms. I was very glad to get home.
