My first day at the new job went well. My supervisor started by thanking me for coming in despite the snowstorm (a number of people who work there didn't make it, living further away), then set me up with proofreading, checking PDFs against the previous proofread pages, mostly to make sure corrections had been picked up, but he said that we had the time and I could give it a bit of "extra TLC." I'm glad I did, because along with a few trivial things ("a" for "as") I found a serious error in the glossary ["two" instead of "three" completely messing up a definitoon], a mislabeled graph, and a confusing set of instructions on one problem. Aroubd 4:30 I got a computer, so I can start copyediting tomorrow.

adrian_turtle got me a set of slip-on devices to add traction to shoes. I wore them today, and they did help, especially on the way to the subway this morning, when there was ice and sleet; this evening's surface was mostly either cleared or snow.
After work, I stopped at the branch of my gym at Madison and 36th and worked out briefly. I don't think I'll be using that branch again: they're missing equipment I want, and they don't seem to be using hot enough water to wash their towels, which smelled noticeably of other people's stale sweat. There are a few other branches worth my checking out, or I can take the R up to my usual.
Cardio, 11:30, top heart rate 130
Chest press, 70 pounds, 12, 6
Calf raise, 80 pounds, 2 sets of 12; 75 pounds, 11
Adjustable row (not the usual machine, the similar one I avoid at my home gym): 70 pounds, 15, 9
Glute machine, 37.5 pounds, 15 with each leg
Crunches, 4 sets of 30
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 4 sets of {3 on each leg}
Bicep curls, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20
[No stretches except the ones that I did after specific exercises, because I couldn't find a suitable stretch device]

What kind of slip-on things? Those might help me.

Note that while they help on ice or in snow, they seemed to make walking more difficult on relatively smooth surfaces; I took them off a block from home, the last block having been shoveled clear.
