Chicago, Part One

So I got a new job, which is nice. My previous job required 55+ hours of work each week. The actual work I'm doing now is pretty much the same, except my boss is way cooler and I work 40 hours a week and get a lunch break every day, and it turns out things like that actually make a huge difference.

Anyway, I have six weeks of training in Chicago for the new job. I started out with two weeks there, am back in Salt Lake for two weeks, and will be headed back to Chicago for basically all of July.

Now, you would think that I did awesome things in Chicago, especially as I had a couple of weekends there. Unfortunately, you would be wrong. I watched two complete seasons Dr. Who, which I don't regret at all. I also watched a bunch of reality TV, which I do regret. So that I could not sound like a total loser when my coworkers asked what I did over the weekend, I walked to the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower). I didn't actually go in, or to the top, but I could say "Oh, I went to the Willis Tower and looked around." (I did look around the exterior. That counts, right?)

So. Disappointing. Maybe I'll do something blog-worthy during my next visit.
