And there was much rejoicing.
He's been there 6 months. They love him (he is pretty loveable) and he's already made himself an asset to the company. Like most engineers, he is painfully detailed and organized, extremely efficient, and very knowledgeable. But unlike most engineers, he is very much a people-person. He has become the person his team goes to for help, whether it be software (he's one of the only folks on his team who knows one of the architect programs), or just a hand with a project. They have to log their time according to project, and one day he told me he spent a total of five of his eight hours helping people. That is the kind of thing that would frustrate my obsession with being productive, but he is patient and a good teacher. He also has a way of making people feel at ease, a gift I think he inherited from his grandpa Harold.
The commute can be rough and the hours long, but ultimately, this is definitely one of the best decisions of 2013.
Proud wife, here.
Yay, Rick!
