Update: The speakers finally arrived, 3 hours late.  Still waiting on the tv delivery, let alone installation.  I could have walked to the store and back 15 times in that time.  And… the plug on the subwoofer is a US plug.  Huh?  Serves me right for buying the model off the floor, even at a discount.  I called and complained and they’re sending someone with a “junction box” which should solve the problem - I’m giving that a roughly 0% chance of actually happening.

Update: The TV has arrived, 4 and a half hours late.  Installation guy says 1:30pm tomorrow for mounting.  I’m plugging everything in tonight just to make sure it all works.

There was a catered breakfast to break the ice, an inspiring speech by Joe to set some expectations, and then an opening Hindi ceremony called a Puja, which is customary to bring good luck to any new venture.

Day 1 At the Office

Of course, it being the first day, the network was totally down and people couldn’t even log-in, but it still felt good to cut the ribbon.
