I am, as they say, good to go.

Still working out some basic stuff, haven't met my direct supervisor, don't have a desk or a computer or a phone, credentials are... maybe coming? With no email access, it's hard to tell.

On the plus side, the team is *GREAT*! Got the cook's tour today and it was awesome. I'm gonna love it here.

One more adjustment. The day starts VERY early. So bedtime is VERY early. That's not really a big problem but the commute... I haven't figured that one out yet. Parking is way, way above my pay grade. And where I am permitted to park, nearby, is pretty expensive, ~$250/month. FTS. Today I experimented with parking in the nearest fee free space and walking the difference. Well. It's a less than ten minute drive and a more than twenty minute walk. So, that's happening. Tomorrow I'll experiment with putting the bike in the back of the truck, driving to wherever I like to park, and biking in, then walking to the building. We'll see.
