¿401 qué?

Well, there it is. My first day of full-time, salaried, grown-up work is complete. I don't really have a lot to say about it. It was a tiring day, beginning at 6:15am... a schedule I suppose I'll get used to. 

The most memorable moment of the day was going to Human Resources to discuss health insurance plans and 401K options for the first time in my life. That was pretty much when it hit me that I'm entering a whole new phase of my life. Also, for some reason I had completely forgotten about 401K's. I was doing fine with the HR director's explanations of the different insurance programs, but once she started talking about investment opportunities my eyes started to glaze over. If that seems a tad ironic, I should remind you that I didn't study investing as part of my Economics education. Not really my interest area.

In other news, I've been assigned to Chicago as a secondary region (my primary regions being Pittsburgh and South Central PA), meaning I theoretically get to fly to Chicago for parties and phone-a-thons that I organize.

The thought of getting up tomorrow and doing it all over again seems a little bizarre. I'm already looking forward to the weekend.
