First day on the job

Today I woke up and did something I have never done before - I went to a job that required getting on an elevator. Thats right, I am working for corporate america. Specifically for a company called VitalKey - a great invention that keeps all your medical records on a thumb drive (there is my new job plug). How do I know that it keeps all your medical records? Because my job is to make sure that they all get there from version 1 to version 2.

I must say that I also got a sweet title - VitalKey Conversion Specialist. Granted it is a made up title from Burns (who by the way is upset with me for screwing up his pizza, as well as me claiming that he said "Hey Cowles" which is something that he would not say).

As I got in the car today in my white button up shirt and khaki pants Ryan says to me, "Great buisness casual." I let it soak in for a second before I told him that it was simply the nicest clothes I had. He got a good laugh out of that.

From them til about lunchtime is a blur. With the exception of 5 things -

As you enter the parking lot you can not turn right....or left.... signs block both ways.

On Wednesdays there is a hair on wheels hair cut trailer in the parking lot.

There is a porta potty in the corner of the parking lot.

There are 900 volleyball nets/courts in the back grass.

There is a fake, and completely dumb looking owl on the top of the building.

And then there was lunch. A freshly made pb +j by none other than myself, with what turned out to be a life changing chip for Burns - a pita chip.

At first he was very standoffish and skeptical to the chip, but once he heard me eating it - officially the loudest chip since the A bomb, he couldnt resist.

In fact, he ate the rest of the bag as a way of accepting the fact that I was to broke to give him much of anything else (not really sure if he knew that or not, o well, done deal now...)

Back to work for the next 3 hours, where I did what I do.

Got a free T shirt - VitalKey - The future of medical history.

Thats right, you can read that again if you want.

Oh and I found out there is such thing as an Airzooka - http://www.dansdata.com/airzooka.htm


All in all a great day- with a fantastic dinner and good conversation on the front porch.
