New job

As I alluded to in my previous post, I've got a new job. I'm a research associate at Colorado State University, working at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA). For the first time in over 20 years, I'm working for a local organization, the biggest local institution, in fact. Riding my bike to the office, learning to pack a lunch, all the things. I'm helping several research projects use satellite imagery to derive global cloud properties in near real-time.

Yesterday I attended an orientation session for new CSU employees. I've been married to a CSU professor for 21 years and already know everything there is to know about the school. Joining the employee union was a new experience. I wish there had been more of us.
