A Weak of Manhattan

Aches and pains never seem to be magnified until you have to do that 90-minute commute five days a week. The last time I tried that I was considerably (well, five years) younger, so I'm out of practice and far more decrepit than I remember being in the Before Times. In any case, today was my first day with the nicest group of PCAOB inspectors I've ever met, they're all smiling and polite and calling me by my name and everything! Took about an hour and a half to get everything settled in just right, but now I'm just a "warm body" outside their conference room should they need anything. And it looks like the weather is cooperating so far. And my temporary workstation desk drawers contain the key that I left there the last time I was here, so I don't have to go to my usual cubicle to store my stuff. It was definitely strange coming home without my laptop, but no complaints. Well, except for insomnia, for which I blame the weather because why not?
