first official day! we had new employee orientation! it wasn’t too exciting – we just did a bunch of paperwork and listened to a ton of presentations and important people speak. all interns from our wave who have the same start date gathered in one of the huge conference rooms, split into different tables by division. there must’ve been hundreds of us! i asked the HR head how many interns there were total this summer and he said 1450!
it wasn’t a particularly exciting day, but we got tons of cool microsoft swag like mugs, cups, and a cool bag. but most importantly, i got my badge!!
officially a microsoft employee now 🙂
afterwards, i went to sears and bought a bike! after quite a bit of debating and choosing, i finally settled on a lime green 26” hybrid one!! it’s really cute and i got a matching lime green helmet and a basket!! it also happened to match the shirt i was wearing.
the guy at the store was really nice and helped me install the basket and even took a picture for me! and then i rode the bike home!
then for dinner, we had our two friends/neighbors who are also explorer interns over for dinner. i cooked everyone my signature pepper and chicken stir fry and they really liked it!!
