I'd be hesitant to stand next to him during a meteor shower.

Hey, maybe that's how I get a date!

lori, you should not grunt at the nice secretary with fabulous hair who keeps the paperwork all good. BAD IDEA!

(The astro department my dad is in is one of the highest salary grades for admins. Right above the art department and below the president's office staff. I think there must be some logic at work there.)

OK, so there was some reality competition I caught the last of. Involved a quiz on the stuff in rev. am. hist. And I knew the answers. Even obscurish ones. It's been almost 13 years since my 2 years of american political history classes, and really, I don't use it much. So thank you again, Mr. Smith. You did a kickass job making it come alive.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

See, I think that'd be the safest place to be. 'Cause with his luck, you know they won't be falling on you.

Except meteors tend to be a bit larger than baseballs.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Except meteors tend to be a bit larger than baseballs.

Details, baby, details.

Yay surprise mail.

Yay Friday and Monday off.

I had a really good first day, but I don't think I will be online everyday. Not even close. I guess after the first month, I will get DSL at home and just deal with night and weekend posting.

So spill. Your coworkers all good and wonderful? All sorts of fun projects?

Well, I made people laugh, people were friendly, no one seems territorial. I contributed 2 things on projects. I was introduced via phone to the other office and to 2 clients. I was given 2 follow up emails to one client to handle myself, one involving me asking for clarification on things that no one had thought of. I caught a potential legal issue and will meet with legal tomorrow about it.

My computer and stuff is all up and running already and I was sending and receiving real work emails by lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Damn, that's quick! Good stuff.

That sounds good! Like they were prepared for you and know what to do with you, which is reassuring.

(this job, the contractor neglected to tell them I was coming. They thought they had a couple weeks yet. So they *really* didn't know what to do with me.)

yes, they are kinda the polar opposite of my last 2 jobs. OH, and all my HR paperwork is in and processed, I will get a check on Thursday.
