First Day of Work=Awesome!

So today marks my first day of work, and it was pretty durn sweet. Woke up at 8, walked down to the office, and met my boss, at Steel Roberts Publishing. I sat down and drank tea with Roger Steele, the guy who runs the place, and literally just talked for about two hours straight. It was really cool, we discussed my life story, publishing, the German language, and just about everything in between. Met some other people who work there, there's a brother and sister who are cool who work there, and a dude called Joel who has an XKCD change. We talked about the general type of thing I'll be doing: office maintanance, going to the bank, editing formating, manuscript analysis (whether a book is worth publishing or not). Also they have a guitar at the office, but want a new one, so since I play I'm going to help pick one out, as well as an ukulele.
Today one of the things I worked on was doing some edits for a book about the history of New Zealand nursing. The author needs to use a lot of stronger language, and learn to not repeat words, but it's pretty educational. For example some cool facts: Nurses in the early part of the century were paid shit and worked insane hours, so it was actually extremely rare for them to marry, or if they did to do so before menopase. Also the medical training they received (including the midwiving nurses mind you) didn't include information about the reproductive system because it was "unbifitting ladies". It reminded me a lot of my grandfather (paternal) who was a doctor, and also wrote several books about Israeli medical history, specifically in the IDF. Also I started a manuscript that some lady had sent us about her struggle with crystal meth. She had a really really sad life for a lot of it, and was very sincere, but I'm pretty sure I'll advise against writing is, as she really doesn't hav e agrasp of the craft, and it just seems a like a public service anouncement.
So got back to the apartment Zack and I left for dinner grabbed some falafel. Then we went out to a free concert in the Botanical Gardens, it was a Brazillian folk band, we got there a little late, and Zack wasn't really digging the music so we left early, as they played a Brazillian folk cover of Beat It. Walked back to the apartment and now I'm on the couch watching Die Hard and drinking beer.
Oh two other great things my Starman Omnibus finally came, and I saw the craziest drunk driving commercial ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DylHlnH6i6U
