Chapter 1: Arrival - The Kobayashi Maru

I'm still trying to address the aforementioned "boo boo" as I am required to "take ownership" over the process. To do that, I need to receive clarifications regarding a cryptic and somewhat alarmist email from a junior developer. His supervisors say he cannot accurately provide feedback as he needs guidance (he's new at his job), but those same superiors won't be there to address it until Monday, a day too late as far as I am concerned. So I'm stuck with a seemingly impossible situation trying to get feedback from junior (that according to his superiors isn't fully valid without proper guidance) so the issue, if it even exists, will be resolved by Monday. I'll have to resort to using the sling shot around the sun maneuver...

I am moving into the apartment today. I spent a few hours yesterday constructing an Ikea chair and now fully regret having not payed the assembly fee for all of the furniture (instead of just for the bed). The mattress I've received (and ordered, it seems) is of Twin size instead of full size, so I've asked for a replacement (a more costly one, of course). It looks a little weird, but I should be able to rough it for a few days. I'll do additional shopping and try cooking later. I also need a standing lamp, but the thought of another trip to Ikea is unappealing at best.

I can sit on it and it doesn't immediately fall apart

A "sunny" day in Tenafly

I've briefly tested the internet connection at the apartment for the Azeroth connection and the latency appears to be around 100ms when connected with a cable and about 250ms on wifi. I suppose it will have to do.
