Today was my first day at my new job. I spent the entire morning at an orientation meeting and filling out reams of paperwork (11 different forms needed the same exact information about my family members). Learned fact of the day: There are 128,000 students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system.

I finally got to where I'll actually be working after noon. Like any typical first day, it takes a while to get your bearings and get into the rhythm of a new environment. There are countless differences between my new job and my old job but the most surprising is something that had never even crossed my mind before. At my old job, I walked two steps directly across the hallway to get to the bathroom. In my new job, I have to get a key and walk outside 100 feet to another building!
