Getting Started
Today was training day for new PPPL employees. So that meant going through safety lectures and taking multiple tests, sexual harassment and work hazard videos, as well as many, many forms to fill out. It wasn't that bad, but I've never had to go through that much to start a job. I'm not complaining. I'm working in an area where they get matter that's hotter than the core of the sun, so sure, it's hazardous.
I also ?got badged? as they say. That phrase was pretty much the joke of the day. How often do you take a noun and turn it into an intuitive verb and no one notice? Like right now, I'm ?blogging?. But for some nouns it doesn't work. Like you can't go ?carring?: you drive your car. Or you can't get some ?booking? done. You get the idea. So anyway, I have a security badge for the PPPL, and it's pretty sweet.
I'm an official PPPL researcher now. It's time to get started.
