First day of work!

So i'm all moved in. My parents and I drove up on Thursday night to Knoxville, and then continued the drive on Friday and got to Detroit around 5 pm this past Friday. When we got to my apartment, we noticed that something was wrong...there was no furniture in it. So that put a little damper on things right off the bat. So we went back to the office and they ended up giving us a place to stay for the weekend, but still didn't solve the furniture problem. So after a crazy weekend of setting up my apartment without actually setting up much, i now have furniture. It arrived this morning at 7:15 am, which caught me by surprise. The movers had a key to my place and walked into my room to wake me up so that they could move the furniture in. So after they moved allmy furniture in (a couch, side table, dinner table, bed, and two dressers) i went back to sleep for a couple hours before I had to wake up to go to work. So my first day at the Palace (where the Pistons play) started at about 10:35 am EST this morning. Got a grand tour of the place, and was shown my desk that had a couple things on it, but no computer (IT is working on that). Went to lunch, and then came back and started brainstorming on a couple things for Hooper (the Piston's mascot) and then ended my day with a 2 hour meeting from 6-8 pm. Then after the meeting, went to dinner with a couple guys from work and found out that i have somewhat of a southern accent, and that when i try to say "you guys" instead of "y'all", i get made fun of haha. So all in all it was a fairly un-eventful day, beside the earl wake (as the Michigan-ers say), but a good day. Tomorrow i begin work at 10 am, but i also have my first Woman's Basketball game as an official employee/intern! Should be some food times ahead!
