I survived the first day at my job/VISTA position. I will certainly get more done when my computer gets set up, but I did get my voicemail and all that taken care of. I got in early and put some doodadds around my office, moved my [very very very very heavy] desk so that I face the door, rather than the window. I hate having my back to doors and to rooms. And I have a nice view that won’t distract me now.
I already knew my supervisor, and I had my office key already. So I was not that nervous, minus forgetting to wake up or pulling two flats on the way in. I did get specks of bike grease on new pants. But I think it came off with degreaser when I got home. Didn’t have enough coffee, but I was sweating like I did, running around Central Baltimore in two shirts and clipped pants. I had to take a fact-finding ride to North Avenue, Barclay, Greenmount, etc. And a trip home for computer/software related stuff. All told, I rode a nice twenty today, most of it uphill. My new milkcrate was great. I might need to adjust it again, but I’m too tired tonight.
I went to have pizza, to the movies and to the grocery store (at like 10:30) without deodorant, or what I use as deodorant. I don’t think I stink. It was like a date night. It was awesome.
