I've been in Chicago for about 6 days now, and the weird fuzziness that seemed to surround reality has clarified and now I'm only slightly overwhelmed by everything.
I started my job on Monday, and it seems to be a rather good one. The office is near the northern boundary of what I'd consider downtown Chicago, and my apartment is at or below the southern one, so between home and work is about 10 square miles of urban goodness that, had I the time and were the weather more acclimate, I would be taking thirty thousand pictures of per day.
I still need a bunch of furniture for my place. My computer currently sits on a plastic folding table, and my TV is on the floor. Also, stupid little things like paper towels and oven sheets and various related sundries. These are all things that will have to wait for my first paycheck, as any money I might have once had was spent on the move or on coffee.
