A very hectic and interesting first week. It's been a long, long time since I have lived on my own. Sandhya has been doing everything for me for God knows how long (except for that brief period in 2000 when I had to go alone to California).
First of all, I was right. Parking is going to be a huge deal. They are giving us free parking for the first week at the ParkMed building up on a hill on 12 street South. From there I have to take a shuttle to the office on 5th & Weller. Again more novelty for me. Me taking a shuttle. I would once have shuddered at the thought. The fact that it does not bother me shows how motivated I am!
I was given a couple of days to get my feet wet. But by the end of week I have started serious work. Can't say more because it is all confidential.
The office downtown is nice. I did interview there, so it wasn't much of a surprise. There's a Starbucks nearby and aroma of coffee is nice early in the morning. There are lots of eating places in the vicinity. But I have picked up some lunch from Safeway. But most people seem to go out to eat.
Weatherwise the first couple of days were overcast. But the week ended with sunny days. I am even feeling optimistic that flying is possible.
I'd say I'm off to a reasonably good start.
