Man, today was pretty darn slow. No one showed up at work until around 11:00 so Matt and I killed time by playing "Scorched Earth" in the coffee lounge on his floor. The coffee stirrers make surprisingly good catapults.
All in all I think about five people came into work in my department. One of them was the fabled Artur Raczynski, who just got back from a two week vacation in Turkey and a trip to China before that. He's the main one I can thank for being here. He was tall, athletic-looking, with slick blond Aryan hair and a tan. Somehow from our emails I had expected an old professorial type, as would befit the lead of the "Industrial Visualization" group, but I couldn't have been farther off.
The weekend cometh. Tomorrow I go into Munich to shop around. I should probably register with the German government one of these days, too, since I should have within 11 days of entering the country and it has now been exactly two weeks. Or maybe I'll just buy some cool German shoes and call it good.
