It was supposed to be on a 1:1 scale, but somewhere in the drawing of it, I messed up (not like you'll be able to tell anyway). Not to shabby if I may say so myself. A total of about 4 hours, maybe.

Day 8 at Work
With my system still not set up for real work, I started in AutoCAD again. (Last year, I drew a car, which took a good week of practice. Today, I started and completed a drawing of my TI-30XIIS.

Lack of Sleep is Catching Up to Me
Today is Columbus Day, and here I am, in the office.
It all started with the three-hour nap I took last night late in the afternoon that only caused me to feel energized before I was supposed to go to bed for an early rise this morning. Aside from the fact that I woke up more tired than usual, the morning was rather routine. That is, until I got to the subway station and then realized I had forgotten my lunch AND breakfast. I had been prepared to eat well today. (I did not plan to bring my computer today because of the extra food.)
Shortly after arriving at the office, I learned that my supervisor and two others from my group are going to be out today. Just great! If only I had something to do. Actually, I do; unfortunately, not really. (I don't even get my Mac to play around with either.)
I guess I can look forward to the $6 lunch today, which would have otherwise been healthier, more tasty, and essentially free than what they are serving in the cafeteria.
I had tea and Wheat Thins for breakfast.

On the Way to Work
Just for kicks, I'll post this, taken with the Nikon 18-55mm in the morning.
Edit: This was taken yesterday.

Up at 4, Asleep by 9
This is my new schedule. I am out of the house by 5 and I get home a little before 6. I am at the work site by 7 and I leave a little after 4. The time unaccounted for is given to arduous task of commuting from Brooklyn to Hicksville.
Today, I attended my first meeting with a few of the guys. I now feel like I have a sense of what is going on; I feel I have a sense of purpose. What I learned from this meeting was that these folks were rather informal (which I love) and that they weren't very different from the engineering groups I became accustomed to this summer (i.e. homework groups with Taylor, Stephen, Jonathan, and ocassionally Anderson). Besides a few acronyms here and some jargon there, I was relatively comfortable. Let's see how tomorrow goes.... Bright and early.

National Grid
Work starts on Monday.Am I mentally ready? Maybe.
Am I technically ready? Probably not.
Am I AutoCAD savvy? Not yet.
Will the first day of work be fun? Doubt it.
Will any day of work be fun? Maybe, but highly unlikely.
Do I miss the people at Cornell? Yes.
Do I hate it when people ask very long rhetorical questions and then answers them right after? YES! Please, don't do it! It is annoying and can easily mislead the listener with such a succint answer (of 'Yes,' for example) when the original direction of the question has been already forgotten.
