Today was my third day of work at my new job. So far so good. I haven't actually done anything yet, but tomorrow I will transition from "getting settled" into getting down to business. I'm looking forward to it.
Yesterday my boss gave me a t-shirt that our department made a few years ago. The quotes on it help to sum up (in a humorously self-deprecating way) the kind of history work we do:
"to common readers they will appear unnecessarily erudite, and pedantic."
and
"I repeat that I am too tired of the subject to go over it again. so I think I must publish it as it is."
Both were written in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to George Hay, 28 December 1811.
I'm excited.
