Amber's 1st Week at Motorola

So I survived my first week at Motorola. It was an exhausting week and pretty slow doing all of the paperwork and getting set up on all of the systems, but luckily I got some cool stuff. As far as my commute it is pretty rough, but will hopefully get better. The morning drive is ok (50 minutes) but the drive home is quite a bit longer, it took me 1 hr and 40 min to get home on Wednesday!! Spencer went with me to work on Friday because I was so tired. He drove me up and then found a library to study at while I was at work. It was really nice becuase we were able to have lunch together and then we found a better way for me to come home (only 55 or so minutes). Spencer has been great helping me adjust to working by making dinners and doing just about everything around the house. Our schedules don't match up very well right now. Spencer has evening classes from 630-9 on Monday and Wednesday so I don't really get to see him at all those days which is sad (luckily that is only for the summer quarter). So it's nice that he can go up with me on Fridays since he has no class. I found out today that Motorola has what they call "summer hours" which means you can work four 9 hr days Monday through Thursday and then only come in for the morning on Friday (if your manager is ok with his team doing summer hours). My manager was out of town this week, but will be back on Monday so hopefully he'll let our team do summer hours because that would be nice. Anyway here are some pictures of my badge, laptop bag, laptop and cell phone for work. My mom took some pictures of the Motorola campus that I'll put up once she emails them to me.
