I’m here! In Atlanta, and have officially started work. I drove up here on Sunday which was an uneventful trip. Zeke (my fish) came with me, but I didn’t bring much else. I am staying at my uncle’s condo in Buckhead/Midtown (for those of you who know Atlanta) which means about 30-45 min to work.

I really liked a lot of aspects of the company: they seemed to be very close, doing…

Yay!!! I was going to put a link to his blog here,…
