I did bicycle to work my second day at the new job. Even in my out-of-shape state, it only took 18 minutes (of course I looked at my watch!) It was as nice a ride as I expected, down the hill on Nahanton street through the golf course, over the bridge on the Charles and past the marshlands. The turn into the work parking lot wasn’t hard, either; I was a little concerned about traffic making that left turn.
I spent most of the day with online training (as I will be doing for about three weeks), learning what our product is, who are customers are, and how they use it.
Arlene came to drive me home, since it’s not so much fun bicycling in the dark, and brought most of the stuff I had brought home from my office. There are still two cartons I had brought home from a previous office that would be nice to get out of the house, and stuff in the trunk that I haven’t brought into the new office yet. But it’s an office, not a cubicle, and there’s some desk space to use.
