Entering the Social Makes Me Less So?
Wow, it’s interesting that I’ve been with Zune for just under a week, and already, the amount of time I spend on things like superfluous web browsing has just dropped. I’m not sure how much of this has to do with the fact that I just have a lot of work to do and a lot of ramping up that needs to be done in a short period of time. But I know that a lot of it has to do with just enjoying my work more.
I like the Zune team. So far, the people on my team seem very cool, and the project we’re working on is…well…really cool. It also helps that the team has a lot of young talent on it, which is nice because I actually have things in common with my coworkers. I didn’t realize how important this was until I went to Groove and I started to have problems with relating to the people on my team.
Plus, I really like the atmosphere that currently exsists. It feels like a start-up, but it’s clearly Microsoft. It’s also fun having open air cubes. I’m thinking as we approach our release (no, I won’t tell you when), I’ll start talking up the features more. Until then, I’m just going to enjoy life.
