My first week at Canadian Tire. The first day was spent at the main office in Toronto for orientation. Considering I worked here last summer this was a very easy day; most of the speeches were very similar or even exactly the same as the ones given last year. Only a 2 hour day to start off my 8 month term, not bad. The rest of my actual work week in Brampton went pretty smooth. At the start it was mainly reacquainting myself with the team (very few changes from last year) and also getting used to the office environment again. My team switched to a more agile style of development so I had to familiarize myself with all the new concepts and buzzwords and also get some practice working with JIRA, the online tool the team uses to keep track of all our progress. There was also the customary mandatory training videos. Not much here except for instructional videos on security and office etiquette which were pretty boring to be honest considering I watched the same ones last year, they did help me settle back in to the office environment however. On the programming side I was introduced to 2 projects; the first was a tool code named COAT that was very far into development (I believe it was at the quality assurance phase) and the other was a project named TPS, which stands for Transportation Performance Scorecard, which will apparently generate reports about our delivery performance among other things. I had the chance to see the code base for COAT which was slightly overwhelming considering how far along it was. I believe I will be spending more time on TPS and spent a large chunk of most my days in design meetings. Not a bad first week all in all, glad to be back with the same team as last year, programming and making money.
