Well, I guess I haven't updated in a while - it's been a kinda busy week. I did indeed start work on Wednesday, and after the usual starting-up hurdles, everything's going pretty smoothly now. While I can't really go into any detail, I'm excited about what I'm going to do, and excited generally for the future at Amazon.
As for the personal half of life, it's going pretty well too. Thursday some friends from college came into town, and so I went and saw them Thursday (providing a good test of my waking-up abilities the next morning) - we walked downtown for a little while, hung around at Mikey's, and went and got a few drinks. Good times.
Yesterday I got to see Superman Returns at the IMAX theater in Seattle Center, which was cool - doubly cool considering that parts of the movie were in IMAX 3D, which actually was pretty cool. The movie itself was just OK, but the IMAX part made the cool scenes even cooler. All together though, don't waste your time unless you REALLY like Superman, or wasting time.
Yesterday night was more drinking and dancing with Chris and Brandon (aforementioned college friends) and Mikey, and we went to the War Room - a pretty cool club on Pike with propagandist paintings all over the walls and a lot of very loud hip-hop and very delicious and expensive drinks. Still, I'd go back.
Follow that up with a few more hours of drinking and dancing, I walked home at about 3:30AM, and here I am now. Fun fun fun.
That's about it for me - the movers are coming to bring my possessions to me at 7:30 (!) on Monday, so I need to get my stuff out of the temp place today or tomorrow, and figure out some kind of a sleeping arrangement at my new place before I get a bed - there's no way I'm going to try to wake up and get out of here at 7 in the morning.
Wish me luck!
(By the way, everybody go congratulate Dawn - she got a job! She'll be working at Panera, which is pretty cool, and alleviates a lot of concerns about various things. Plus now she'll for sure be able to come here in August, so all I have to do is buy a plane ticket.)
