August 8th, 1982
So, no more sleeping in on Mondays. Today was my first official day of work. Honest to goodness paid work. It was... well, things have been kind of ridiculous at the Ministry for the past couple of days. And this was Monday, which means that everyone who wasn't here over the weekend now had something else to talk about all day.
I just kind of went with things for today (I'm on the Floo panel, which is where I wanted to go, actually, so that worked out great), and did what Mum and Uncle Matthias asked and tried not to be annoyed when one or both checked up on me every five bloody minutes. It wasn't completely unfamiliar territory, since I was here last summer in the department and have basically grown up around the place, since I am related to quite a few of the other people here. It's just as weird as Ralden said it would be. But it's certainly something to be an official employee of DoMT, now.
All in all, it was a good day.
I was sorry to hear about Scotland, but England is still in the running, so. That's also good.
