~Flashback: Ryan driving~
So I’m driving into Boston last night and the city just kind of appears out of nowhere(maybe I wasn’t paying attention?). Scary I get off at the right exit but I’m in the wrong lane and end up going north instead of south on the road I’m supposed to be on. I go by the Boston Museum of Science (mental note to go back there) and inexplicably wind up exactly where I want to be. Of course by the time I realize that I’ve already missed the turn and have to drive another 10 minutes before I get back there again. I see a Marriott sign, Residence Inn is owned by Marriott, cool there’s my hotel! I get out ask the guy standing there if I’m in the right place. Nope 5 U-turns later I find it. I check in walk up to my room. Niiiice, Kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, 2 TVs! (pictures!)This is super neat! first thing’s first run around and open all the cupboards and drawers. OK internet time, bust out the laptop plug in the hard wire. connected, disconnected, connected, disconnected, connec…you get the idea. Ok maybe wireless. It’s slow and a little flukey but works. So I shower to get the salt from the beach off of me and unpack. Then I hit the sack.
~end flashback~

I woke up at 6, showered, dressed spent about 20 minutes getting my tie to look right. I realized I had no idea what time I was supposed to be there so I figured 8:30 was a reasonable idea and went does stairs for the free breakfast. Which was pretty generic but free none the less. Luckily while I was there I ran into one of the guys that interviewed the same day as I did. So I ended up eating and talking with with him. He said he was going over at 9 and was going to meet him at 8:30ish and head over. I manage to get distracted and don’t get out there until about 8:30. He’s missing, I knock on his door, not there. Ok then I’ll head out. Walked to work. (a nice change from driving 20 miles a day) I get and we’ve got a book full of powerpoint slides and a lab manual. It’s like school all over again, except for 8.75 hours instead of 2 (9 – 5:45) today. At lunch I went up to HR and talked to this girl about getting a parking pass. I manage to get a free one, for me at least, and then moved my car to a different parking garage. It cost me 20 bucks for one night in the other garage. Tomorrow I’m in class(training) from 9 to 5 and then orientation from 5-7. Whoopie! For now I’m going to change and wander around the city a bit and see what I come across.
