Workin' the Coal Mine, Goin' Downtown...

I started my job today. The people are great and the job looks to be a mixture of bitch work and really good experience. I accidentally parked in the CO's spot, but in my defense it was marked "CO VISITOR" and it was the only visitor spot I saw. There were signs threatening to tow unauthorized cars, so I parked there. I was then informed that I would not be towed and that I could park elsewhere. My boss is great, but the whole shebang is moving to Jacksonville in two years or less so everyone is trying to find other jobs. So the job seems to be a great "just out of college job" but I don't know if I want to move. Oh well, I have 2 years to decide if it is right for me and I get my OSHA, HAZWHOPER, and a whole bunch of other certifications paid for. I can't ask for much more than that.

Meanwhile, Arnold has a nifty new multipurpose tool he's putting together. I'm going to go see if I can screw with it....I mean help him.

A tool that didn't, in the end, work worth a damn.

But a job! Celebratory dinner! I betcha it feels nice to be an adult. Imagine how cool you're gonna feel when you get your first paycheck!

The celebratory dinner was quite enjoyable, even if Arnold insisted on paying for it. Mmm steak and sweet potato...
