We made it!

I have a much longer post on it's way, with pictures and everything, but we made it! The cat, Dad and I got to Virginia in one piece on Tuesday morning. It was hot. Really hot. Which would not be so bad except that it is also very humid, which makes for some miserable truck unloading. Dad, Someone and I took 2 days to get the truck unloaded but it went ok. The cat did amazingly well with the whole 4 days in a box thing, and seems to be nicely adjusted to her to new home.

Anyway, a full write up of the rest of the road trip and my first few days in VA are on the way. Today, I'm working in New York. Trying to get adjusted to a new office is always entertaining. They sort of forgot I was coming, so I had to set up a workstation and spent most of the morning running around looking for keys, badges, cat-5, power strips, and the basics in office supplies. Lots of fun. Thankfully no one expects much out of me till this afternoon.

Traveling between Newport News and New York is disturbingly easy. Getting up at 5 am is not so great, but I managed to make it to the office by 9:30 this morning. Not too bad if you ask me. Tonight, Someone and I are going to do something mellow (I hope) and go check out the corporate apartment I get to stay in this week and figure out how to take the subway between there and the office. I live in fear of the New York subway system. Less the subway itself and more the ginormous fearsome rats (or R.O.U.S.s if you more the geek type) actually, but still, it's all the same.

Must get to work, I have cat-5 to poach and subway routs to figure out. I'll try to post the rest of the trip write-up tonight.
