But I got through it.
Drove for over an hour ... everyone on the team expressed how crazy I was! All I could think was how lucky I was that it was SHORTER than the commute I've been driving for the last 6 months. Drove right past both colleges I attended (Berkeley and Chabot) ... made the drive more than a bit nostalgic, but not so much that I stopped :-)
Filled out my I9, W4, and a bunch of other papers, went to lunch with the team, came back to fix machine hassles ...
Typical first day.
Then, after an hour drive home, Adam and I grabbed food to go and sat down just the two of us to watch a movie. I don't get to do that NEARLY often enough!
It was the perfect end to the perfect day.
It's been a while since I smiled about going to work, but I can honestly say I'm looking forward to it ... commute and all. I survived to get here, and now I insist on enjoying it!

Congrats on a successful first day! We used to live not far from Chabot College! How crazy is that?
Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. Will u go down there in July? Are there bagels? decent coffee( read Peets?) Scouts is tonite, and your son has just arrived for the grandpa bonding experience. Concert tonite, but I don't know who's going. I'm starting to get nervous over the wedding cake & I have no team! RATS!
Love title of your post. Resinates with me. So, you are in my neck of the woods. Funny, I was thinking about you today and then you appeared on my website.
I was wondering what it felt like to me part of the mommysphere?
So what's the job? Sounds great. If you need anything while in Calif. I'm around the corner.
I love first days on the job. Always so exciting and new. And Yahoo is a great place to be. They are lucky to have you! I have been admiring Carol Bartz from afar. I like her attitude.
I have always hated first days (because I'm shy, introverted, insecure, etc), but I think when you enter a workplace knowing that you've kicked ass to get there, the first day can be really fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed yours!
