			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must admit coming to work for SoftLayer made me a little nervous. I was hired as a receptionist and I assumed my computer skills, or lack thereof, would get me through just fine.  I am not one of those people that you would consider computer savvy.  Sure, I can use a computer to look up directions or make a PowerPoint but I knew I was rather limited for the times.</p>
<p>Before working here I thought the only kind of cookies out there were the kind you could bake with chocolate chips.  I thought clouds only were up in the sky and was impressed when I heard someone mention they were customizable.  When people said “I’m headed to the NOC” I just assumed they were going to knock on someone’s office door or maybe it was a hip new restaurant.</p>
<p>My first day I received calls about phishing and honeypots, I was beyond confused.  I was sure Winnie the Pooh did not work here and these guys didn’t seem like the fishermen type.  I decided it was time for me to get a little more current on the times.  Everyone at SoftLayer has been accommodating and so generous with their time. I have been so impressed with everyone’s team work.  I have learned so much in these first few weeks.</p>
<p>The SoftLayer Team has been so helpful showing me around the new building.  It is absolutely stunning, it is a bit of a maze though.  I’m afraid if I didn’t have someone walking me through, I might have to leave bread crumbs to find my way back.</p>
<p>In closing, I am glad to learn there are more cookie options but I still prefer the chocolate chip kind.</p>
