first day at the new jo
a decent, uneventful first day at the new job. downfalls included that my computer didn't arrive till 4pm, the first cubicle i've ever sat in full-time, and the 8:30am all-day meeting tomorrow. triumphs include the in-house gym facilities (with stereo and tv), roof deck overlooking the hudson river, and the boss who leaves promptly at 5pm.
it seems like just yesterday i was tiptoeing into a cavelike grotto of a design studio, nervously clutching my portfolio (including, i think, the chapbook that i wrote, typographified, and bound myself; some shitty black and white photos that took me hours lost to the limbo of darkroom to print; and two handmade books: quiet [inspiring quiet] and you stand on the shoulders of ... [inspiring through]). that job was crazy and we worked ridiculous hours and didn't know what we were doing, but i was lucky to have a first job at 22 where everyone else there was a twentysomething idiot too. every job since has gotten increasingly more grown-up just as i havemeaning that i'll probably be at an investment bank any year now.
focus on being in the dominican republic in a week and a half.
