Day late, but a dollar more?

So yesterday I was too tired to blog, so I decided to push it off till this more and try to do two entries today.

Yesterday (Friday) was nice. I talked with my boss about expectations for the next couple weeks, and also learned a decent amount about the business and how some of the inner workings work.

I like Andy (my supervisor) a lot. He's a nice/good guy. He speaks softly, but seems to be very knowledgeable at the same time. The thing I like the most is he seems to be very easy going, flexible, and understanding.

The plan is for me to work 7-4. I decided to try to work these hours do that I only miss 2 hours off the east coast time as opposed to 3 (plus it might be nice when there's a sporting event to catch at night :-). We also talked about how it's logical for the company to pay for my dinners (since I technically don't have my belongings - pots and pans - to cook) and how if I need time (e.g., when the movers come to deliver my things) that I can take some time off.

The nfl draft is progressing. I think the Browns saved themselves with the pick of Miami (Fl) WR Travis Benjamin. I think he's a stud who can really help out this team and provide some much needed separation and big play potential on the edges. Unfortunately I still think the Steelers have had a better draft (Decastro, Mike Adams, and Sean Spence).

Today's agenda...

Find a bank that has branches both here and back home, and open a new account.

Complete the HR paperwork (I swear it's a novel's-worth).

As for tonight...??? Idk. This is definitely the part I don't like. I wish I was back home so I could rely on Jason for something to do (he always was able to find something to do --- it's easy to do when everyone likes you :-/ ), but unfortunately in out here all by myself with no one to call. I'm definitely going to have to step out of my comfort zone and break the ice.

I'm wishing Molly was out here with me. It's starting to get very lonely out here (if you know what I mean). And it's not a good sign that I'm missing her this early too already. I've only been away from her for 4 days. Not good.

Well... The bathroom is calling. Time to get in tip top shape and see what bank I can find.

Adios!
