Went into work today and got an orientation from the HR people. Got some pictures taken and saw some of the facilities of education city. Went to lunch with some of the IT guys, and then went to get some cables for some of their equipment. I got a tour of the progress of the building. Most of the people were in their new offices. Ivana and I are still in temp offices until they finish up the new ones. They have some finishing and painting to do. I even get my own office. I haven’t ever had one of those before. Tomorrow I have an early meeting with my boss and then more paperwork for my residency stuff.

After work I picked up a rental car to have for the first month or two. It took forever, but was able to get something. It is a Lancer (the cheapest car they had.) I have been wanting to get a vehicle so that I could get around. I need to do some shopping tomorrow.

There was a full day last week when I didn’t have keys. That is such a freeing moment in life. Now the keys are starting to come back. First it was the house key. There are keys to every door in the house but I will get to that in a later post. Today I added a car key. Soon I will get a employee badge that will let me in the parking garage and work building. Not really a key but close. It doesn’t feel too bad yet. I hope that I can keep my life as simple as possible.
