My first day at work was last Wednesday which is also last working day of the week Thursday and Friday are the weekend days here. So the first thing that I was told is why are you here? You should be at home resting. I knew I was onto a good thing then and there.
I was greated ahrtily by my boss Osama however it was hard to tell if he was happy to see me or just happy to be leaving as that was his last day at the job. Nonetheless the reception from eveyone was so pleasant with an endless stream of Phillippino administrators greeting me with “Wellcome Mr Jesse”.
The day was a whirlwind of introductions, form filling and campus tours. I have a staff of 8 direct reports who gave me the impression that they were very happy to see me. This orientation will probably last for about a week as I have yet to meet all of the Academic and administrative staff.
The University is an amazing project built over the last 3 years Everything is brand spanking new/ The students will start arriving next week. Here are a few photos of the campus:

So all in all it was a very good first day
