31-Mar-08 First Day at Work

Unfortunately, I had no time to rest before I got into the work life. Typical UK workday appears to be arrival 8:30am and leave around 5:30pm. In an operations environment, the setup is with low-wall cubicles, with lots of interaction, lots of getting up and going to talk to people in person. If someone is down at the end of the hall, you go to see them, you don't phone them, if possible.

Most people live relatively close to work. I have not encountered anyone with more than 30 minute commute to work (I'm only 2 miles - 10 minutes from work). Many, in fact, walk or cycle to work.
