Huh, I’m in Mountain View

Somehow, I think I just moved across the country. It sort of felt like I was taking another vacation to California, but I just realized that I have no return ticket. Huh, I’m in Mountain View.

I start work tomorrow. Yes friends, I live on the edge. No vacation for me! Much-deserved downtime is for wimps!

Seriously, I always intended to do a fabulous vacation, but my new boss needs me, you see. And there’s that whole pesky situation that I haven’t been paid since July. This way, I can become comfortable and prosperous, vacationing on the Continent only after I can properly play the role of bon vivant. See you then, my darlings!

This picture was taken with my fabulous new camera. Thanks to all of those that made it possible! Here is your first piece of documentation of Matt’s New California Life. I’m staying at friends’ house until they return from Europe and kick me out or until the movers arrive with all of my stuff. So no, the beautiful spread you see me sitting at is not an impulse buy after my first few hours in California.

At some point I must go out and eat. And figure out what I wear to work tomorrow. Business casual? Nerd formal? Or the barely-suitable-for-society Nerd casual???
