welcome to _____

I had a great first day at my new job. Here's the rundown for those who are actually interested:

7:55 Get let in by sympathetic administrative assistant who already knows my name.
8:15 Talk to my new boss and get the heads-up about what to think about for my 10 a.m. Big Meeting with the campuswide committee I'll eventually be co-chairing. I comment that I'll probably listen more than I speak.
9:00 Get legit: I'm escorted to HR to sign papers and become a bona fide employee.
9:35 Walk back to my office and get ready for Big Meeting. Meet more co-workers.
10:00 Big Meeting. I listen and then end up speaking a bunch in spite of myself. Make ridiculous comment about actually promulgating web standards with manadatory elements (search, logo, comment) in consistent places and am informed that the Style Guide addresses that. I also hear the words "Welcome to ____," and I feel like I've just stepped in it. To avoid tracking it around, I opt to just listen for most of the rest of the meeting.
12:00 Lunch with the new boss and other managers in my department at the Faculty Staff Club. I learn more about the folks I'll be spending quality time with and decide that they are cool people and that I have, in fact, made an excellent choice in deciding to work with them.
1:15 Get legit, part deux: Obtain ID, parking permit, keys, etc.
2:15 Campus tour: A very nice guy named Aaron drives me around on a large (four-bench) golf cart/ bus and gives me the big tour of the place. We get off the cart to check out the sculpture garden near the ceramics kilns and, later, by the sundial that I mistake for an astrolabe.
3:00 Meet with my boss. I begin by telling him that I feel like a rock star after the royal treatment I'd received today (I really did). He gives me his view of the projects and their priority in my job (thank god!), his management style and expectations, etc. We talk about projects and what I need to get going on soon.
4:10 Dash out to get to an appointment.
7:00 French class: Learn to conjugate -ir verbs au present, au passe compose, a l'imparfait. Also learn the conditional tense.
10:00 Tell Harrison about my fab day and generally ramble on about how happy I am to have my new job.
10:15 Consult with Harrison on tomorrow's outfit.
10:21 Post this tale to the blog.
