Work

From now on I'll probably blog a little less frequently. I've settled in at LBNL, got all accounts set up and have started working. It's amazing how much there is to do around here you want to. If I wanted, I could probably spend all my time here just attending the presentations, meetings, and seminars that magically appear in my schedule here. In addition to that, today I attended a couple of mandatory information meetings for international visitors, and learned (in addition to how to get a social security number, Californian driver's license, VISA extensions, etc.) that UCB offers over 7000 classes a year, all of which I'm welcome to audit if the teacher allows it. Don't worry boss, I won't, not more than one, or two at the most. But I'm settling in at work. And actually getting some work done as well. Impressingly much actually, considering how hot it is outside! And inside. Really hot! Summer has finally arrived someone said, after a long cold spring. I didn't respond as I was too busy crawling around looking for water. Really hot! A few illustrations; normal foggy day, non-foggy painfully hot day, and an Eucalyptus tree that I included just because I felt like it. All seen from the LBNL cafeteria parking lot.
