Just a quick post to say that today was my first day of work at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Just did lots of HR type of stuff and have more of the same tomorrow. There were 8 other new hires along with me but they were all Social Workers or Pharmacists. I got to finally meet 2 of the HR ladies who helped me get hired while we were still in DC. One of the girls is my age, moved to Iowa City a year ago, and used to live in DC in one of the new condo buildings near the Nationals Stadium (small world)! Here are some pictures of the outside of the VA hospital where I'll be working.



Oh! And another story of what a small world it is-- yesterday when Rob and I were walking into our apartment building a girl held the door for us and noticed that we had MD plates. Turns out she just moved here from DC, lived in Dupont Circle, lives in the unit right below us, and is going to be a 1L at the law school. Nice to have some Washingtonians all the way out here!
Love,
Allison
