Friday I took the train from Karrinyup to downtown to meet with my new boss at IBM and the placement agency. Downtown was very nice. I had lunch with my boss Clive and his boss. The gave me a tour of the office. IBM has their own modern office building on the west side of downtown. My cubicle has a nice view of the freeway and hills beyond.
When we left the building to walk downtown for lunch Clive and his boss made a point of taking off their badges and hiding them in their pockets. They said that since they work for an American company that makes them targets for terrorist.
In Perth? I decided that I am going to wear my badge when I go to lunch, and I plan to put a small American flag on it too just to make sure anyone stupid enough to hurt me because of my nationality knows I was not hiding from them. IBM doesn't know this yet because I don't get my badge until they finish making it in a week or so.
