Day One
Day One on the job: sit in hip coffeeshop all morning, read through pile of binders left by previous sole employee. Nurse tasty but slightly over-watered americano as long as possible. Walk down 438 stairs to get to downtown lunch with boss, talk vaguely about projects, get alternately excited and terrified. Acquire an additional binder. Walk down with boss to see downtown office, into beautiful LEED building, past beautiful couches and tall windows, past other nifty office spaces, up to dark, windowless cubicle. Still - better than last year's 'office' aka desk with back to the door and daily operations of a tax office going on all around. Determine that someone else (who?) has colonized my desk. Have to wait 'til other person clears out before I can move in. Shift operations to library. Shift to the other hip coffeeshop. Snobbily avoid touristy faux-Italian coffeeshop. Wonder if work will pay my coffee bills. Walk home up 438 stairs.
All is well! I've put up some kinda belated photos on Flickr:
