First day at the new job

...and I get to be the one unlocking the door :) At 8am, no less. That late hour is a luxury.

I got to sleep in until 6am this morning, whereupon By smacked the alarm a few times, got up a bit later than he'd meant, and allowed me to alternate dozing and smacking the alarm until 7am. Wow. The world looks very different when you don't see the sun come up. I think I could get to like it.

I remembered to cart in my big box of Earl Grey tea from Costco (because all good things come from Costco :) ), a spare sweatshirt for later in the week, and a book I'd bought for Courtney a while back. Go me! Also remembered to tuck my new knitting project in my purse, as lunch-hour knitting.

By's parts orders showed up last night, both of them, so he's started working on a pearl and red-glass-sparklies tiara for one of the performers out at RenFest. Not fine art, certainly, but they're paying.

Actually went out to a theater and saw Serenity with Tristan and one of his coworkers. The movie was much fun, even if they did kill one of my favorite characters. **sigh** I had forgotten, though, how much I disliked the whole volume-too-loud, bombastic commercials and stuff before the show.

Apparently, it's "wear a green shirt" day here

My excuse was that it seemed to make sense, wear a bright green shirt to celebrate my first day in the greenhouse. But Donna walked in this morning With The Exact Same Shirt.

We look like we're in uniform. It's pretty funny.
