Not too bad, pretty laid back especially since I had to wait a lot for certain things to be installed in the computer or for things like my account and such to be set up. So there was a bit of waiting but I kept myself busy by exploring my section of the building (really 2 big empty rooms full of cubicles and a kitchen), snacking, eating lunch (in the kitchen which is right next door), taking a break with tio and some of his friends to play foosball, sketching, and chatting with my one neighbor. So, in the whole big room full of cubicles, I was the only one for a while until my neighbor showed up whose been there a little longer than I...he actually has years of experience there so he helped me out with a few things that I had troubles with.
Also, my boss and 2 other supervisors were very helpful throughout the day with all my questions. Once everything gets installed and set up, things should run a lot smoother. So I haven't yet started my actual assignments but am still in the pre-assignment phase. Though it's not been too bad, I'm looking forward to the next phase!
Some things I was installing seemed foreign to me and I started feeling scared once again of not knowing anything...but afterwards, tio showed me the big picture and the small picture and a little bit about each thing I was installing (b/c really I only had directions on how to install the stuff and not what it was for). Anyhoo, it actually turns out to be quite related to the programs I am familiar with and made a lot of sense to me once it was explained. So thankfully I am not too shaky anymore...I was after I got home. I had been working for 9 hours and if I hadn't been trying to get something to function at work, I was waiting, and it slowly made me anxious. Nonetheless, 9 hours is quite a bit of time.
So, that is the only sad part...that work requires such long hours...after all this lovely vacation it seemed like a cold smack in the face. But after I got home and unwound and got some things explained and such...I feel much better and actually ready to go back tomorrow (which is great b/c I thought I wouldn't survive the evening when I got home!).
Well anyhoo...here are some lovely pics of where I am at:
Here is Lake Washington...
and this is the view from the driveway at home... 
Love,
