Well mostly.
Our stuff finally arrived on Monday. So did Megan, Wren, and Boswell.
Megan and I have been slowly unpacking. A lot has gone counter to what I intended. Our stuff barely got here Monday, which was the last day for it to arrive. I had to call in and basically make them bring my stuff late in the day. My car didn't even arrive until the next day. Wren had an accident in his carrier at some point. Boswell couldn't fly on the same plane as Megan and we had to ship him separately. We didn't think he was even going to make it out here the same day. One of our bookcases broke in the move, and so did the washing machine. The washing machine is fixable; the part is on the way already. The bookcase will have to be replaced. My brand new tool set that Allen got me for Christmas is missing.
But things haven't been all bad. I'm so happy to have Megan here. The weather here is just beautiful. I've been spending as much time as possible outdoors. I was going to ride my bike to work, but the last time I rode it I must have run something over because now the back tire is flat. It's going to be fun to fix.
On Thursday Megan and I went out for dinner at a place called the Elephant Bar. I won a gift card at an open house I went to last month. The food was great. We will probably go back sometime.
I've been slowly learning the area and learning my place at Simplex. I went to visit a vendor the other day and people were calling me asking for help. It felt strange to have people need me that much. I was never as important at TMI. I've been trying to learn as much as I can about Simplex's products; they're very different from TMI. I have gotten some of the easier products down, but the extremely custom enclosures we do are very difficult to learn.
All in all, I am extremely excited to be in California. I hope things start to work out a little easier.
Finally, I hope I have time to get into politics here because this state is awful politically speaking. A ton of people want to live here, and that translates to a lot of cultural diversity. The diversity is fresh and interesting, but I can't seem to understand how that translates to such a liberal, overpowering state government.
Oh well, that's a bridge I'll cross when I have the opportunity.
