Settling In...

I feel a bit more at home today. It helps when you can let yourself into the building and head straight to your own office. My computer is all set up but my voicemail password still hasn't been reset. It'll be nice to get my box of stuff from CIC so that I can personalize my office :)
I met some more people today. I was walked around the floor this morning and introduced to select people and, in the afternoon I was pulled into the engineers' meeting for introductions. There were a lot of people in the room so, unfortunately it was really hard to remember everyone's names as they shouted them out in a round table. Hopefully I'll learn everyone's names as I go!

Over the last couple of days I've learned quite a bit about the ships and helicopters used here at CCG. The group that I work with is responsible for actually procuring, designing and building the ships. The project to renew the fleet began with building an Air Cushion Vehicle (ACV) which is otherwise known as a hovercraft. The picture below is of the Mamilossa which is the ACV that our team built! How exciting! Here is a page where you can read more about her and her specifications: http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/e0009754

That's all for now!
