Week #1 down.... many to go

 Ok so technically only 3 days down... since I started on Tuesday.  My boss is really cool though, as are all my coworkers.  I can basically roll into the office whenever i want, as long as I'm completing 40 hours/week somehow.  There's also no dress code.  The last two days were software training, and today was miscellaneous stuff --- i.e. cleaning/scrubbing down my office (cubicle), getting keys, getting an ID card, getting an email, etc.  Now that all that miscellaneous stuff is done, I feel official! 

Oh, and did I mention that it turns out my title is HR Manager?  What a nice surprise that was.  As my boss was introducing me to people as that, at first I was thinking, 'what is he talking about? i'm just a HR Specialist!' haha. It's funny how meaningful a title can be to people.... despite the fact that my department is technically only 3 people.  haha... and that's including myself!

So I commute via Bart daily now.  My hunnie drops me off every morning, and picks me up in the evening.  It kind of sucks not getting home until like 6:30pm.... but at least I have income now.  That's what matters.  The thing is, I hate public transportation because I am a hygiene freak.  And what do I get for that? A cold.  I'm pretty sure someone on the train gave me a cold, because people are always coughing and sniffling on there.  I tend to travel breathing in my own scarf most of the time... but that didn't help me, apparently.  Damn sick people.  I have to kick this cold before Monday though... because my real hands-on training begins on Monday! (The guy that held the position before me --- for 23 years --- is coming back just to train me for 3 days next week!)
