First day on the new job

Looked up ergonomic chairs, found a reasonably-priced one, gave the info to the office manager. Also found nice wrist braces for mouse/keyboard use and gave that info to her.

Got set up on the server, got set up on Skype, got set up on email.

Researched free HTML editors but may or may not download, because I’m not sure I’ll need them, but if I do I know what to do about it.

Read the company’s website and was sort of horrified, hence the potential need for an HTML editor.

Filled out whole megatons of paperwork.

That’s mostly it, except I thought of a word. The word may be the most important thing I did all day. Okay, the payroll paperwork? Very important. But sometimes a word is a concept, a concept is a marketing plan, and all documents can flow from that plan. I think I thought of a very good word.

Went home, watched You’ve Got Mail, cried like a baby, thought some more about my word and other words, went to sleep.

    You’re not slow. It’s a marketing word, a way of defining the product, so it doesn’t matter. The point is the way that a single word can define thinking.

    For the record, the word is “suite.” It allows us to think of a suite of service-oriented products, rather than think of what we have as a single product. It really can shape thinking.
