third times a charm

I will be leaving now to attend my third welcome dinner; second by Toyo (although all three were paid for by them).

Today I finally got to start doing my own thing, instead of just learning. It was nice. There are over 5 different programs I have to use in order to design, test and evaluate a simple tire. I am using them all.

Last night, my boss helped me fill out the paperwork, which there is a ton, to join a local gym. It is a very nice facility and very close to my work and room. It is a very different layout than I am used to though. I have been to multiple Ys and other sports facilities, and this is the first one that felt different. There is almost no free weight area and the weights only go up to 40 or 45. My high school, which is really freaking small, even has more weights than this. It's just a different style as there is a huge cardio room, stretching room, aerobics room and even massage room. I will adapt.
