So far, so meh. Due to not actually having clearance yet, I'm stuck doing basic research and reading, which grows thin after a while. Particularly as I spent all yesterday trying to find/derive the neutron absorption cross section for uranium at incident energies of 1-2 MeV, while I know inside the fence there's a book effectively titled "The big book of neutron interaction cross sections."

But they're paying me, so I can't complain.

And I finished my first working model of a, ahem "gadget" today. Seeing all the right numbers drop out was a much needed lift. I actually stayed late on a Friday to play with it a little, even though I was way ahead on my flexitime. So I guess I don't hate it too much :-)
