A two week excursion to New York on company money is a great way to get into the working lifestyle.

Up the yellow glowing escalator.

Despite the training being substandard in my opinion, the opportunity to experience the big city (again), hear from senior management during times of turmoil, building personal relationships with future coworkers, enjoying the NYC nightlife and shopping till your wallet bleeds made this trip all worthwhile.

Admittedly, I wasn't as enthusiastic to go back to New York for training.  Spending four months of the previous year was plenty for me to experience the sights and sounds of the city and more importantly, I was afraid that I would question my decision to forgo the job opportunities in New York and London for a much lower paying, possibly career-diminishing job in little ol' Toronto. 

Pushing that thought out my left ear, and reassuring myself that if I ever changed my mind, I would be able to go back to NYC at any time, I set out on making the best of this trip.  I got to meet a lot of new people, reconnect with ex-coworkers, ball-buddies and locals.  All in all, things went a lot better than expected and I feel ready to join the working world.

For the most part, the people that I will be training/working with all seem like a great bunch of people and I am happy to be where I am right now.  Now if only I could do something about the hour half long commute.
