Day 1 is done...

I started work today and things don't seem too overwhelming. We went to HR and become official employees and got our ID cards made. I swear I felt like I was a freshman all over again. The good thing is my boss bought all of us new RD's one piece of Santa Clara Clothing. So, despite the warm weather, we all as a group decided to get the more expensive items...sweatshirts and jackets...I know EVIL!...haha. But we figured if it was free, we might as well save our money for the cheaper items like t-shirts and hats.

I also got a chance to see my new office, which is a regular double room for students minus the furniture, but including the mirror and sink( to wash up after lunch I suppose.) It also has the long bulletin cork boards running along the wall. I'm gonna have SO much fun decorating and getting this place to feel like a real office. I am also living in a faculty suite until late August or early September, while my actual apartment is being built. I checked out the future site, and it is currenly four rooms on the top floor of my building with vaulted ceiling and beams from the roof...so there will be a nice feel to my new place complete with new appliances and furniture..I'M SO SIKED!! Til then, I will continue to live out the boxes I packed back in May...haha

David, I envy the fact that you were able to drive across the nation as you did. I'm sorry we didn't get to spend a little more time together while you were in town. It'll be super living on the other side of the continent. I just have this feeling that Mr. Daniels is going to find a wife in Cali;-).
