Week 1 is done

It's was a strange and interesting week. I got to work at around 7:30am and left work at 6:30-7:00pm almost everyday. The commute is 10-15 minutes. No time to cook at all this week. All that food that I stocked up in the fridge is getting old and stale. If I only knew then what I know now. Lunches were the free snacks at work for three days, Indian and a deli sandwich on the other two days. Not much workout to speak of. No surfing at the beach or any of the other glamorous SoCal activities. But, the work has consistently gotten busier and more interesting. We are launching a car company from the ground up after all.

The apartment evenings are chats with the roommates. My first roommate is cool Chinese-American kid who is very excitable and high energy. "This is just like college. This is the dorm. CODA is like the university, where we run into each other on campus. We all have different majors." Is the way he put it, which rings so true. He is a quality engineer. The other roommate, an Indian fellow, sleeping on an air mattress in the living room, is the PLM manager and I am the head of the electrical systems. All different majors.

I'll be working this weekend too, but I might take a half a day off on Sunday to do something fun. A short road trip or maybe surfing in Mahattan beach. We'll see.
