I’ve been at Thomson West for a week now and things are going well; lots of good people there, and the environment is great. They have Starbucks coffee in the cafeteria, and free coffee and tea everywhere.
Like most jobs I’ve had, it’s really interesting here- Thomson West does legal publishing, and the areas where I’ll be working in deal with the online version of their legal publications. I haven’t come across any weird laws or anything, but I will be able to absorb some of the ins and outs of the legal system and legal research. Someone recommended that I look at this site to get an idea of how everything fits together; it’s a funny and interesting read.
I was going to post a picture of the building I work in, but I couldn’t really find one I like- I’ll try to take some pictures next week and post them. For the impatient, here’s a picture of the building (on the right) with the Aqueduct and Genesee river in view, and here’s a closeup of the statue of Mercury on top.
