First 2 days at XnHotels Company

Moving to a new company always brings to you new things, new experience and something you were not familiar with before. I have been in my new company, XnHotels, for 2 days. Should be interesting to write down what have been going on and some first impression.

It is smaller then my previous one, thus, lacking of guys, called system admin, to take care of computer thing: setup, installing required software. Yeah, it is a chance for me to do it all. I had not done it before. I now get familiar with VMWare, setting up the new laptop given to me.

People here are very friendly. It takes me no time to talk with them and laugh each other. We are now can enjoy work and fun together. Quite fast and nice, i guess.

I am now working as developer, before i was a Technical Manager. No problem with that! It is just  a matter of title. I care most about what i can do and what i can gain on that position. There are about 10 peoples working together here. Some do sale business, some take care of reporting, using the existing one. And there are a few actually doing coding.

My team consists of 3 people, 2 developers and 1 designer. We get requirements and instruction from Manager in US and one manager here.

So far so good. Welcome me to XnHotels!

Should i read some economic books?

These days i was wondering reading some other kinds of books beside the IT one. Reading book is always a nice and good thing to do no matter what kind of books, of course, not all.

I am trying to rearrange my life style in the next year, 2010. Some ideas of what i should do have come in my head.

I do not have an ambitious of being master in economic. I’d rather want to have a picture of it. And i might help me in some way of my current job, software developer. There is a need to understand the business in IT.

The question is, where should i start? which book should i take a look first?

Sad day

Today, i got offer from a company i took the test and passed. It seems there would be a great day. However, i feel sad. I aware of my decision. But how to be happy when i am going to say goodbye with my dear colleague and company.

There are so much memory here: Catglobe Vietnam.

After my boss sending out the final decision, i got so many chats asking why and other stuffs, we were both really sad about the decision.

There were also some arguments about my 13th salary. However, i got explanation from my boss, not totally satisfy me. But it’s ok.

I am going to finish things here and wait for new challenge in front.

My last working day at Catglobe Vietnam will be 31 Dec, 2009.
