Loser in the Office

First day of work today. They put me in an office on the other side of the floor from the other actuaries. My boss took me around to meet everyone, but there were so many people I couldn't keep everyone's names straight. I sat in my office like a loser most of the day and didn't talk to anyone. I don't know how I'm going to make any friends here since I don't sit by anyone. Just call me the loser in the office :(. I can look out my window and see two big palm trees, which was the highlight. Pretty uneventful day....just did some training on my own. Had lunch at Fresco's, which was pretty good. I discovered that you need a separate license (different from the driver's license) to drive a scooter if you buy your own, but you can drive rentals without one. Makes no sense. Don't know how I'm going to pass the scooter test :(. Also, Jim can't get licenses (car or scooter) until my permanent work permit comes through. That means I'm going to have to drive Jim around on the back of my scooter for possibly 3 months. That'll look so cool. I bet he's thrilled about that and that will for sure add to his house husband status.

We went to dinner at Bisto J tonight. We both got appetizers (conch and corn fritters for Jim, fried eggplant with goat cheese salad for me), entrees (steak and mashed potatoes for Jim, pasta for me) and 1 dessert (vanilla bean cheesecake). Jim wasn't impressed with the food. Then the bill comes, $67 for everything. Suddenly it's Jim's favorite restaurant! The bill was only that expensive cause the water cost $8. Very reasonably priced food for Bermuda. Score! We're looking at 8 properties tomorrow. Hopefully we find our new home! I think I need to start putting sunblock on every morning cause I swear I'm getting sunburned just walking to work. BTW, Jim didn't complete his tasks for the day....no car and definitely no mayo :(
