Making love to an Elephant

Ian White thumb_white.gifIt is now two weeks since I started working for Microsoft and I am really getting into it. I am doing my level best to consume the myriad's of offerings that this organisation has, technology, working environment and of course people. There is so much good stuff to be become au fait with.

The sheer volume makes this a real task, it is a bit tiring and I am feeling the effort expended - but that is good. On the downside I feel like a mouse pleasuring an elephant. The mouse knows he is working hard but he is not sure if the elephant is noticing.

The trick is not to worry about the whole elephant, just the bit you are close to.
