Day 9--First day of work

So today was my first day of work.  I woke up earlier than I had to so that I could get a microwave for the apartment.  (There was no charge to get it, but I had to go downstairs to the receptionist in order to get one.)  Chietara, Mike, and I left the apartment at 9:15 and we arrived at work a little after 9:30.  We got an itinerary for the week, and Niels went over it with us.  We will be going on a trip to various municipalities in Denmark on Wednesday and Thursday.  First we will take the 6:59 S-train to Buddinge Station to meet Niels, then we will drive to Trio Plast, a private company in Nyborg for a tour and interview.  We will then travel to Eurec A/S in Hedensted for the like.  We will then have lunch and travel to RenoSyd for the like, then go to Ringkobing-Skjern for dinner and stay there for the night.  Thursday we will go to a recycling center in that municipality, then Eso, a company in Tarm, then lunch, then sightseeing in Ribe, then Dansk Affald.  We will then have to eat dinner and travel to Holsted since Niels has to present at a conference.  The conference will be all in Danish so unfortunately we will have to find something to do during the presentation. After the conference we will then go back to Copenhagen; we will probably not arrive until midnight.

So to continue with how the actual day was, we started to prepare for Wednesday and Thursday by researching the places we were visiting.  We got a lot done, too, for we finished at around 3:30.  Lunch, by the way, was pretty good, and the best part was that it's free every day.  After leaving, I went to 3 different bike shops to find a bike, but with no success.  However, I will go to Dybbolsbro tomorrow after work if I have time and buy a bike there.  I heard that the bikes there are pretty cheap, so hopefully I will find something good.

So before I finish for tonight, I just want to warn you that my posts for most weekdays might be shorter than normal, unless something unusual happens that day that I would want to share with you.  I apologize in advance.  I'll be sure to still update you daily, especially since Denmark is an awesome place and you all should go there at some point in your life.
