And so it begins.
I introduced myself at the weekly Tuesday staff meeting. “Oh, so that’s how you say your name.” I also got a couple, “You don’t look like what I imagined.”
Today was pretty relaxed. I met the other intern, Irene Chong, from the Institute of Design. We compared design programs and conference-running experiences. She co-chaired About, With, and For (now Design Research Conference) last year.
I, of course, met a lot of other folks. I remember about half their names. Everyone seems very nice. There was a lot of concern and support for my living predicament. Someone even volunteered to drive me to a few apartment viewings after work.
I saw a place I liked near Dolores Park, but the girl showing the place was torn because until I showed up, she was ready to give it to another couple. I should find out about it tomorrow. And if not, I’ve got some other viewing lined up for tomorrow night.

Welcome to the team. Don’t give away all our secrets.
Welcome, Jamin! And don’t worry…you can give away *some* of our secrets, but pick them carefully, grasshopper…
Grasshopper…it’s like you’re trying to give away the secret.
The secret of Adaptive Path is…shades of green. Yup. That’s about it. You see, Adaptive Path means multifarious shades of green.
I know, I know. Paths are usually devoid of green as they are trodden upon. The irony.
