Well, I've got an update on the work situation - I'm not sure if it's final yet, but it looks like I won't make a second attempt until July 5, next Wednesday. I guess it's OK, since the movers are coming July 3, and now I neither have to take a day off nor worry about trying to go to orientation and delay/meet the movers. On the minus side, I now have another 9 days of doing nothing, and no money to do it with. Oh well.

Further on the plus side, my future manager Russel came by my apartment earlier, dropped off a handwritten note from a VP apologizing (which was nice), an invitation to go see Superman with some of the Amazon crew on Friday, and an iPod, all of which was very considerate, I thought.

So, any suggestions on what I should be doing with all this time, let me know - and that includes book recommendations, I'm plowing through them at an alarming rate - today alone I finished The Professor and the Madman, about the writing of the Oxford English Dictionary (highly recommended), and I'm nearly finished with Founding Brothers, a history of the important guys behind the constitution and some of the most defining moments in their history. I expect to finish it tonight.

I guess I'll be putting that new library card to the test (but I can only check out 5 things my first month!)
