While I made some definite progress at work yesterday, getting my e-mail account actually working, setting up my workstation, getting access to some tools I needed access to, and getting a phone, I really didn’t do much apart from reading some existing documentation to get a feel for the sort of documentation I’ll be creating in the future.
My boss was busy doing stuff all day, so I only saw him when he’d periodically come around to check in on me. Nita, who’s pregnant, came in late due to a doctor’s appointment, and then spent most of her time getting set up in her new digs, so I didn’t see much from her, though she did e-mail me some information I needed.
And that was pretty much it for my first “week” of work. Next week will mark my first full week. Working for five days straight…it seems inconceivable.
Today I took a ride to Maryland with Kathleen. She had a bunch of books she wanted to sell, and none of the used bookstores in this area would give her a very good deal, so she found a place near the University of Maryland that would, so we went there today.
One of the girls working at the bookstore was cute and had a nice ass. That was pretty much the highlight for me.
On the way back we stopped for burgers at Five Guys, and then we swung by the comic shop so that I could pick up this week’s books, as I’d been too interested in just getting home after work and never got around to stopping to pick them up. It was a pretty light week – only three books – so I grabbed some more boards and bags. I really need to get moving on the bagging and boarding so that I can get everything into my database program and get everything organized.
Once I’ve gotten a few more paychecks into my account I’m going to buy some of these, as they’ll make the whole storage thing more convenient than regular longboxes.
Speaking of paychecks, as I mentioned, AOL actually paid out my severance money even though I don’t qualify for severance anymore thanks to accepting a position in a different branch on the corporate tree. On the advice of the recruiter from my new job, I moved the money to my high-yield savings account to let it gather interest until AOL got around to asking for it back.
They contacted me on Wednesday to ask for it back.
So now I have to move it back into my checking account to either write them a check or simply let them reverse the transfer into my checking account.
Oh well.
Anyway, that pretty much brings us all up to date, and it’s all I really feel like writing at the moment.
