Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Day One
My first day at Burst! started at 9:30 a.m. And although it's not much different from my starting time at WPI, I didn't have to leave the house until 9. I was able to take my time eating breakfast, watching the storm wrap-up on the news, and knitting a few rows on my socks (more about that later this evening). Route 3 was clean and moving at a pretty good clip too.
I'm in training sessions all week, with a little extra time to shadow the folks in my department. So far we've been getting an overview of the business and it's jargon. Starting this aftnoon and continuing through tomorrow afternoon we're meeting each department in the company. I also get to go to the big annual awards dinner on Thursday, which everyone in the company will be in town for. No pressure or anything... Lunch with Gillian and the rest of publisher services was nice. Everyone seems relaxed and easy to talk to, which just makes it easier for me to feel at home, even if we're not making a Monday Moe's run.
It's all still a bit surreal. I keep thinking that tomorrow I'll wake up and drive in to WPI. Somehow I'm going to have to juggle those doctor's appointments I scheduled more than six weeks ago. I really need to get the ultrasound and see the endocrinologist, but I don't want to miss too much work to do it. I really want to make the right impression here.

Yay, first day! I'm glad you had a nice morning, and here's to a great start!
Can't wait to hear about your socks...
