Yesterday started off badly. I caught the wrong bus from the metro station to the office. Right route, but the bus I caught was going in the opposite direction. It took a while to realize my mistake and catch another bus going in the right direction.

Then, when I arrived at the office, I realized that I had forgotten to pack the power cord for my laptop. No problem, I thought, I'll just use the workstation here in the cubicle. I powered up the monitor to see a message indicating that system updates had been downloaded and that I could restart my machine. I restarted, then realized that I didn't know the log in information.

To cap it off, the guy that I'm working for wasn't in the office either, and I really wanted to consult with him on the project.

Still, things turned around when I went upstairs to sign my letter. Up until now, this new job has seemed like a soap bubble — something that would disappear whenever I tried to grab it. But now it's real. I have a copy of the letter in my hand with their signature and mine.

After that, I called Robyn to tell him that my last day working for him would be January 13. I left a message with Mike to officially decline his job offer.

Then I waited for another bus to take me back to the metro station. I met up with Russell and the two of us had lunch before joining Rob, Doug M., and a couple of Doug's friends to see Brokeback Mountain. Then I accompanied Rob back to Forest Glen to spend the weekend with them.

So now it's really official. I have a new job. I'd like to fast-forward through the next two weeks to the trip to Martha's Vineyard, then to get started on my new job. I'll start out in classes to learn how to use the products we code, then sit in on customer support calls. I won't be expected to sit down in front of any code for at least a month.
