I started a new job yesterday where I work as a contractor (I'm a full-time, salaried employee at my company, but they contract my work out) on a US military project (writing code for the Department of Defense).

Due to all of the requirements for working with the Department of Defense, I'm now realizing that this will be the slowest onboarding process for a job that I've ever gone through.

I was just told that sometime next week I'll get added to the daily stand-ups. An entire week just before I even start going to stand-ups is just crazy.
