So far training has been pretty straight forward. This is technically my third time through new hire orientation for this company, and not that much changes year to year. But the most random thing happened on my way home tonight. Out of all the subway trains, and all the cars in the city, I walked onto one with my roommate sitting right on it. Today is the first day at home this week, I'd spent the previous nights at my cousins which saved me a 2 hr commute. Cheers to them!

today was my first day back to work. typical overviews and administrative paperwork to be filled out. my cousin was kind enough to let me stay at their place for a few days to avoid the 2 hr commute from the city. more details later, for now i'm going to bed.

last night we celebrated evan's birthday. it was a good night, and nice that i was able to enjoy going out on a weeknight. starting monday i most likely will not be able to do that anymore. and maybe that's a good thing, because today was a little rough.

i met my cousin for lunch today, then checked out the statue of liberty. another good day.

new york. new city, here i am. i arrived today without much difficulty, save the 5:20am alarm. i even got settled into my sublet room here in the east village. my roommate has been very nice and helpful. in fact, i'm blogging from his g4 ibook, who knows, maybe i'll be swayed to the mac-side. anyway, things are going splendidly so far. i think i like it here.

relocation. i've been looking on craigslist.org for short term sublets. success eludes, but i figure it might be easier once i get into town.

pictures. i was able to finally put together some pictures from dave's wedding. it took me longer than expected to get them uploaded to blogger; they seem to have changed some kind of security settings that make command line FTP more difficult. anyway, enjoy.

got back from vacation on sunday. it was a good trip. went to the wineries in the finger lakes and learned a lot about wine, including the fact that i do like some white wines, just not chardonnay. also did some hiking in the adirondacks and saw my buddy get married. d & s couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. best wishes to them.

pictures to follow.
