Remembering how to go to work

rebeccmeisterLast week was all about learning and remembering new boathouse routines for rowing. To help with some of that, one of my teammates made this really awesome how-to guide for oar washing:
This week is all about remembering how to go to work. Which sounds like a no-brainer, right, except that it definitely isn't, because that means preparing and packing work clothes the night before, plus getting both breakfast and lunch ready to go, and otherwise remembering what things I need to pack and bring with me in to work. And now that I am at work, it's remembering my whole routine. I have to hobo-shower and change in the restroom because the gym isn't open (a good thing!), then heat milk, make coffee, and dine al desko.
The one other part that is a bit awkward is that the closest kitchen sink is in a cubicle office space behind a door that's locked after hours (and so apparently, also right now). That leaves me with the options of washing food dishes in my lab space (a huge lab safety no-no), washing them in the bathroom, or washing them in the drinking fountain. Since I know the chemical/safety risks in my lab space (absolutely minimal) I will probably just do that and hope that our safety officer never catches me in the act.
Also, for whatever reason, this morning when I showed up the door to the women's restroom on my floor was locked, so I had to call Campus Safety for that.
Other than all that hassle, boy am I glad to be here. It turns out I like my office and I like being able to go to work.
And now I should probably get some work done, while I'm here.
