amazonvDay 2
I woke up early to hopefully get some of the issues I was having on day 1 resolved.
I posted some questions in chat right after waking up and a few people jumped in right away to assist! I thought I might have time to reach breakfast, nope.
So many meetings, and two in a row of all the new people introducing ourselves which seemed slightly repetitive (it was a timing thing).
4 real meetings and 2 social meetings. They believe in having social meetings with your team and not your team because of the 100% remote model. It seems like a fun way to socialize.
I completed my sexual harassment / hostile work environment annual training, actually not bad as far as those go.
I submitted 2 MRs in order to clarify on-boarding things and hopefully make future people's times a little easier. One was just a bad link (data had moved). I did that with the help of my on-boarding buddy.
I am working a little late in order to try and catch up.
Maybe almost caught up, some items are blocked and not counting those, and some items I will need to redo when I get the company laptop.

Note:
- So far I have been getting up way earlier than I want or have as my planned work day, hopefully after things get settled I can shift this.
- I have been wearing real clothes, I don't have many PJs here, I hope shifting to PJs in the future will be fine.
- I know I need a new desk, preferably sit/stand
- I know I need a new chair, a good one
- I think I need a web cam (external)
- I need a whiteboard
- I need doodle space and perhaps a digital doodle pad that can get digitized as an image / OCR or maybe just notepads and pictures with my phone.
- I need a better, ergonomic, keyboard
- I need a really nice ANC and mic headset
