Thanks for asking, Jimbo.
So far, so good. Today was my first day walking solo into the plant and I didn't get lost after the first 2 tries finding my office.
Confirmation of the dirty job: I was introduced to the area that will be my primary responsibility today and I got black in about 40 minutes. The upside is all these new (to me) manufacturing processes. I could stand and watch a lot of it for hours but I don't get paid much for standing around watching.
Living the single life again is not bad once I get myself settled in. Sleeping on a cot and sitting in a camping folding chair is getting old. Will be going home for Thanksgiving and renting a truck to haul the creature comforts back with me. Note to self: allow more than 3 weeks to get interviewed, tour your workplace, accept the job, move 500 miles, find an apartment and get all the utilities turned on.
Also, no Internet in the apartment yet so I'm working online at the library. Not a bad choice but the hours are limited. The have a pretty good library here.
Unfortunately, local radio stations leave much to be desired. At least half are religious stations, then country followed by a smattering of rock in all it's variants. I read a lot.
Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be a human being again.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
