Sally was curious enough to send questions. Anyone else is also welcome to send them also. I am not sure how much of what people are interested in. The only rule is I can not tell you about the details of what I am working on or any other Apple project. You think government is bad for top secret you should try Apple. Although I guess at least I do not have to worry about jail time. But I just got this job and want to keep it. So round one of questions:
Are you actually living in San Jose?
Right now I am actually living in Cupertino. Which is a suburb of San Jose. Which is a suburb of San Francisco. I am not sure where I will settle down, I am wanting something affordable, nice and big. At least bigger than what I had in NYC, which is not really hard.
How long do you get to stay in your temporary apartment?
I will be in the temporary housing until 1 Feb. At least that is the current plan. If I find something that is an extremely good deal I might move sooner, but I have the temp housing for a month, I might as well take advantage of it. The money I am saving will go to deposits, new furniture and some towards credit cards. Even with Apple paying for the move, there are a lot of little things that I needed to get. Such as work clothes. This is the first job where I do not have a uniform to wear, or shirts largely provided.
Do you know any of the people at Apple there from prior meetings or dealings?
There are actually a good number of people I know already. Some from previous stores, and some from talking via email, ichat, or phone. There are some I still need to catch up with, but it has only been my first week. This move has been a lot better in that regards than when I went to NYC where I did not know anyone.
Have you found proper sushi and Mexican restaurants?
I have found an ok sushi place by work, and I have a lead for a good mexican place. I do not yet have the place that I will call my regular, but that will largely depend on where I live. I like the regular place to be close so I can go at the drop of a hat. On the flip side I finally have a BBQ again! pretty much every night this last week I was out there grilling something. It is a small gass grill, but then I am not patient enough to wait for charcoal for one person. I want to get a good charcoal grill for having guests over, but that will wait for now.
