poltr1Went to Columbus today to fill out my starting paperwork for $EMPLOYER. I still don't have an official start date, as the manager at $NEW_CLIENT is on vacation this week. I'm guessing I start either next week or the week after. A tentative date was listed; if it changes, they'll write in the new date and I'll initial it.
I also had to take the pee test, which I did after filling out the paperwork.
Then I went looking at apartments. I stopped at the complex where![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
athenawindsong lives, and filled out an application. As I took the walk-through of a unit, I didn't quite visualize myself living there, but the location is nice, even though it is on the pricey side of town (Dublin/Hilliard). They said they should have a unit ready for me around the middle of September. There's a club house there, so there may be a housefilk in the distant future.
Then came the obligatory pilgrimage to Micro Center. I found some more cheap O'Reilly pocket reference books and some lanyards I'll use for my Mini-Maglite flashlights. It's going to be dangerous having them a short 5-minute drive away from me. I love their selection, and their service is great. (Okay, they mostly leave me alone to shop, which is how I prefer it.)
Had lunch at the Panda Inn. I had the General Tso's chicken. Nice and spicy, and it kept me full all afternoon. I then fed the car and headed back home.
Other than schlepping stuff, I'm going to have to thinking about things like finding new support people -- a new doctor, a new dentist, a new veterinarian, and a new insurance agent.
And now I wait for the start date. And think about what I'll be taking with me the first few trips.
