If knowledge is power, then I’m dead broke right now. It’s either I’m not pushy enough with questions, or the fad right now is to be sparse with information. VERY sparse.

I came to this country, knowing hardly anything more than my contact’s FIRST name. At least now I know I’m in a team called Environments. I’m just a bit alarmed at everyone’s reaction once they learn which team I’m in. You know it’s going to be a LOT of fun when they only have 2 words for you — GOOD LUCK.

It’s a bit unnerving being the rookie in a high-expectations team again; it’s been a while since I’ve been in this situation. I’m just praying I won’t get karma for all the rookie mess-ups I’ve tsk-tsk-tsked on instead of helping in the past. Lord, please let them be tolerant.
