[Magdalen] New workplace

[Scott Knitter]

Definitely a good thing to get out. On Tuesday I'll find out who my new friends are.

There was a time when I had such great friends in the office, back in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, that I started getting to the office at 7:30 am to have coffee with them. We're not expected in until 9 now, but it sure is nice to have a pleasant work environment and people. And I'll still be largely independent and supervised from afar...still haven't met my manager in person.

Scott, enjoying Burrito Beach for lunch in the Illinois Center Shops. :)
