A full week

hildy89So the first week of the new job went reasonably well. It's a tiny little library focusing on intellectual property. We're still trying to get my computer access, but hopefully when my background check goes through, everything will be better on that front. I wound up borrowing my boss' tiny Sony VAIO laptop to fill out the paperwork. I don't know how anyone types on that keyboard. So I spent most of the week on my feet shelving in some fashion. My boss is trying to declutter the library, so there's a lot of "Do we need this?" or "Where does this go?" type questions. So far, so good.
Their cafeteria is infinitely better than my last place, but that wouldn't be hard. The only minus is that it's in the basement level and it's *freezing* cold down there. The commute isn't bad. I have to change trains at Rosslyn, which is a pain, but otherwise it's a nice walk over. I'm waiting for the one morning or night that's a complete disaster.
Thursday I was off early so I rediscovered the local Aftertime Comics. Good for the occasional stop, but I don't think it beats the Big Planet stores for variety. It's a little more in the dark dingy cramped stereotype we hear about comics stores and there's usually a reason. After that, I had a lovely dinner catching up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

My first Friday off was eventful. The apartment building decided it was the perfect time to test the fire alarm. I guess they assumed no one would be in the building on a Friday at 9am.
