My first week of work at Google Ireland in Dublin has been very positive! It's been exhausting, but much fun : )
Besides the training, all of us new to the country and the company have had to do lots of paperwork and other non-work stuff like requesting a PPS number (like Social Security), opening a bank account, finding a place to live, applying for a health care plan, etc. I also attended my first yoga class as a googler in Dublin, and I met people from lots of different departments and many different countries of origin.
I will continue my work training for a few weeks, because there is a lot to learn, but I'm looking forward to starting real work soon : )
I found a place to live: I will be sharing an apartment with a very nice French guy on Charlotte Quay and I'm very happy about that (it has awesome views!!!)
Other than that, say that although I'm trying hard, I haven't caught up with the Irish in their capacity of drinking beer. I love the atmosphere in Irish pubs, but here in Dublin and on the countryside (and I like the prices of the latter better)
