Hi Bill,
Too bad Chorus was cancelled last night, but I'm glad I didn't have to be out in the weather. How have your first few days at Shook been? Is everything going alright?

Michael,
HEY! Well, I was actually sort of glad that we didn't have chorus on Tuesday, I just did NOT want to reherse after that Saturday retreat/rehersal thing. Anyways, the Shook thing is wonderful, the people are really nice, I believe that I'll be working in the Accounting Department, not on the 37th floor, but on the 38th floor! That is terribly exciting, we just went up (as part of our orientation) to the Accounting department today, and we had a meeting up in their conference room and the view, is just amazing, just breathtaking. Apparently (and this is really not confirmed, because no one really knows anything, every one is just sort of shuffling us to our next scheduled event) I'm going to be working for the controller of the accounting department. There's about 5 other people in my training class, which is really nice, so we're all going through the experience together, it's pretty simple. They're just training us on their computer system, and the WordPerfect system they use is wonderful, it's all just macros macros and more MACROS, they've just STRESSED macros, because all of the memo's, and all of the letters and fax cover sheets, and all of that kind of thing are all on macros, so all you have to do is just put the information in and print it out, and that's all you have to do, so it's fabulous that way. There's a couple people in the class who are working in the tobacco department and they have gone to some independant orientation's and they have just said that the thing that THEY stress, is security security security! It's just really amazing, but I don't have to worry about any of that information because I'm not in tobacco. I was sort of dissapointed when they said that I was going to be in the accounting deparment, because I sort of wanted to work for some of the lawyers, but when they said that I was going to work for the Controller (the woman who RUNS that department) I was okay :-) Anyway, it's going great, it should work out brilliantly! talk to you soon,
