My First Day

Today was my first day at work. I met with legal, HR, IT, and Facilities. I got a desk (in the lab), laptop computer with external dock+monitor+mouse+keyboard, a phone, a phone number, an email address, a network login & password, and more info than I can remember.

Passport Photo

I just turned in my passport paperwork for my possible trip to Canada in October. It cost me $165 for the book + card + processing fee. At least I got to take and print my photo at home. Don’t I look great? :)
