First day as a POD person.

Was cut short because my boss Sergio (who I really like, he's great) simply had too much going on to deal with two newbies. So we ran trough the orientation, filled out paperwork, and got a look at some of the toys I'll get to use.

Some details. Pay is $12.00, with COL raises in October and biannual reviews. There are also bonuses for things like safe driving and taking extra work. Full benefits with a variety of packages. Pay is weekly, with direct deposit (yay!)

Tomorrow on through Friday, I'm riding along with an experienced driver to get a feel for the job. Then Sunday I fly down to San Diego for training. Details as soon as I get them.

Portable On Demand Storage, if I remember correctly.

(The fact that "'Pods" was already in use by the Miskatonic University Fighting Cephalopods seems somehow to have been overlooked by the current owners, but I'm sure Gridlore will fill in any gaps in their arcane knowledge...)

Speaking of things 'zilla like...the latest (and possibly last) Godzilla movie has the atomic lizard stomping not a miniature Tokyo, but a miniature Sydney(Australia).

Good to see the big guy getting some holiday time.
