So, it's been a little while - because I moved! I'm in the new place now, all of my things are with me, I bought a bed, and now I can sit at home all day watching my DVDs on my huge TV because I have no cable or internet!

So, that explains my absence. I'll be back Saturday, or maybe Sunday at the latest. Everything else is pretty uneventful. Went out with Mikey for the fourth, accompanied Noah and Dave to a party near Noah's, and then went off to the UW campus to watch the city fireworks from the docks. Good times were had by all.

Of course, those good times came back to me when I woke up this morning at 8 in no condition to go to orientation, which I'd forgotten all about. I went, I got oriented, and really all I have to say about it is that we all have to hear about healthcare options sometime, but it's frightening to meet someone who's really EXCITED about it, much less at 9 in the morning. At least now I know which was I'm pointed.

Work overall has been pretty uneventful - I've been slogging through startup documentation and getting my workstations customized just how I like them. For all the nerds out there, I can recommend no program more than Synergy, a virtual-KVM kind of program - I just move the mouse off of my Windows laptop, and it pops up over on my Linux desktop lickety-split. It's wonderful. Wonderful isn't even a good enough word to describe it.

Tomorrow I might start actual work - but nothing too taxing, it doesn't look like. Still, it's exciting!

I'll post pictures of my apartment...eventually. Maybe Saturday, maybe I'll wait 'til it's finished being decorated - which could be a while.
