First day at the office…

Well, I woke up bright and early this morning, ready to greet my first work day at the new office permanently.  As fate would have it, I took a wrong turn and ended up driving around Westminster for 40 minutes or so, eventually finding my way back to my hotel, picking up the trail correctly the second time around.

The day itself consisted of equal parts setting up my desk, greeting people, training, and working on project tasks.  I had a lunch meeting with my buddy Paul at the deli attached to the building, they have a nice sensible French Dip that was just right for lunch.  We got some good planning work accomplished, so at least something productive happened today!

I left work and headed over to the Safeway, where I was delighted to find the Ruffles Thick Cut Cheddar Baked Potato chips that I had been longing for in Pekin… I almost ate the entire bag!  Prices were almost exactly the same as in Pekin, so that is looking up.

Last, but certainly not least, Tasha got the final quote on our mortgage payment and thanks to the recent rate drop my monthly payment should be only $300 more than my old one!

All in all, it was a great first day at the office.  I’m going to aim to be a bit more productive tomorrow, focusing on knocking out some of the training I have been putting off!
