I finally made it to my \”Getting Started\” orientation meeting. I\’m now a small Laotian boy.

But seriously folks. One of the benefits of getting laid off from Nortel beyond the mere benefit of not having to work at Nortel anymore, is they set you up with Right Management. This is a company who\’s goal is to train and counsel me so I can move forward to the appropriate next step in my career. So I guess they\’re paying for my penile lengthening and body waxing for my desired porn-star gig.

But seriously folks. The first step is a career assessment test they call the Birkman First Look. And it peered into my dark soul and discovered that I should be a programmer. Gee. Thanks.
My results will be explained and analyzed in a meeting I have on Monday. So stay tuned.
