Sign here, here, and here....

"OK, What do we have here... Here are your HR forms, health insurance forms, dental forms, your retirement forms, and some other papers that you should sign," said our office secretary, continuing "please sign here, here, here...," marking a huge "X" signs at multiple locations on no less than 100 papers! Yup, the bliss of a job change follows loads of paperwork.

Two weeks into my job at University of Maryland, I am finally settled. Almost. All the paper work is done, apartment set, and well set-up at work. I love it here. The work is real challenging. As I look back to my previous job, I cringe all the lost time assing around there doing nothing! But hey, I got paid real well...So, there's nothing to complain about! What say you?!

Life's good here. The place I live is a 5 minute walk to my work place. I love the greenery here...again, a contrast to the "under-construction" concrete jungle in San Antonio. The temperature is still in the pleasant 70s, and tress still green!

There's a whole bunch of interesting stuff going on here - both at work and off-work. I will surely write more about the super-interesting research in my next few blog entries.

Until the next blog,
Au Revoir!
