First day at my new job! I’m settling in nicely – driving into a friggin’ blizzard this morning did little to deter my plans for world domination. I have a desk with a massive computer, access to Diet Coke and ice cubes, and everyone is super nice. I’ve already started nesting; having brought in a bag full of “office essentials” (garden gnomes and pictures of Transformers) to make my space more my own. I have a chair with no arms, power for my iPhone, and I know where the bathroom is. Things are going along swimmingly!

I really need to deal with the horrible fluorescent lights overhead, though. I am a creature of tech – I work better in the dark (and fluorescents give me a headache).

My first three hours back in space have been excellent!
