The First Day

Overall, it went well. Got a new email account (that I won't be using except for work stuff), new ID card, signed up for new keys, W4, HIPAA training, direct deposit stuff, etc. Had my first DNA plasmid vs chromosome talk too. Wow. I don't know much about molecular biology at all. This is going to be a big change. Looking forward to learning all the new stuff, but nervous because I don't have a background in any of this stuff (not even from classes). The only similarity is that we both work on estrogen and the brain. venn diagram overlap = very small in terms of techniques and scope. Alas. Tomorrow is another day.

Ken's coming to pick me up now. Don't know how his day went yet. Looking forward to a glass of wine. Or three. Ooh, and playing with my newest craigslist purchase... an old sideboard table that I bought yesterday which I sanded and restained last night. Tonight is the tung oil and maybe staining the table from last week that we stripped. Hooray. I love fixing old furniture.

Anxious for the election tomorrow. I just want to know.
