"It's like drinking from a fire hose, man. There is a LOT of information to process. Wear a wetsuit."
Well, with an entire week of employment at Oracle safely behind me, I can certainly support my pal's cliche as hardly hyperbole. So much so that I can hardly pick an area to briefly comment on in this blog since everything I've been exposed to thus far - even after just seven days - is so broad and daunting. A challenge, however, I welcome with open arms and an opportunity I am extremely eager to embrace.
Other observations?
There are a lot of very smart people here. Or, as we say here in Boston, everyone is wicked smaht. Passionate too, and rightly so. I think you have to be in order to excel in this environment, and I hope to fit right in.
Going forward, please check in from time-to-time on this blog as I pass along product and service information, as well as my own personal experiences here at the "O".
Should be fun...
