Day 3: ID Day!

I've really been looking forward to today, because it was my appointment to go to TM (that very terrific museum) to go through security and get my ID. So after having a disappointing picture taken and going through various other security measures, I'm all official now. I get a discount at the gift shops and can get into almost all the other museums for free. So the latter is what I'll be doing for the rest of the week. (Along with hemming and ironing in preparation for next week.)


(Here I am, all official and happy despite the rain. This picture is MUCH better than the ID picture, in which I was trying too hard not to look like an over-excited goofball.)

I hope I am never asked to find any of the offices I was in today by myself, because I have no idea how we got there. Lots of back hallways and small elevators were involved. The other two interns who were with me expressed similar sentiments, so this is not just my lousy sense of direction at play. Luckily, I just have to get to the Great Hall on Monday morning, and I can definitely do that.

Apparently we'll mostly eat lunch in the employee cafeteria, and they only accept cash. Luckily, I got my NY bank account set up today. We were filling out some of the paperwork when the account manager suddenly realized that I'm over 25 and therefore ineligible for the account he recommended. So props to K for the great haircut, because I don't know the last time someone was that far off about my age! (Except for the cab driver on Sunday, but I figured he was padding his tip and giving himself an opening to talk about how he's a "freaky old man.")

After the bank, I went and made an investment of a different sort: Many shapes, sizes, and materials of cushiony inserts for my shoes! (Does this remind anyone of a certain Singing Hoosiers tour?) Even though I've tried to select my shoes wisely, my feet were TIRED today! But it was a 12,710 step day before I took my pedometer off and forgot it when I went back to the grocery. (I was tired of turkey and gouda on wheat, no matter how much I like all of those things.)

All in all, a very happy day. But my feet are ready for a rest.
