First Day!!!!!

I CANNOT believe I might just become a morning person! Perhaps it was just anticipation ... Even so, I was up early this morning. I hit a treadmill in our exercise room, grabbed a great breakfast and read in the lobby until the rest of our "fearless fivesome" arrived. We decided to retrace the walk to work that we had taken on Sunday. Two things: A computer tote gets heavier the longer you tote it, but after all I did get to park right next to the building in Hanover. More importantly, there are no leash laws in India. Stray dogs populate the streets here. Not a fan.
We got a quick tour of the building and met with the leadership team. In addition to getting staffed with a US corporate client and teaming with our counterparts here in India, a MAJOR focus of the program is SAP training. YES!

Our regular work day will run from 11am-8pm here in India, giving us a "live time" window with our US clients from about 8-10:30am EST. To accommodate SAP training we'll have a classroom experience several times a week, from 9-11am, our time. I'm not going to let a little thing like an "evaluation" on Friday, "just to see where the group is" scare me - that wouldn't be fearless.




After work we had dinner at the hotel, followed by a little "professional development" in the lounge. From left to right, it's Om, Emily, Stephanie, Danny and Katie.
