I am not yet dead!
May. 4th, 2007 04:03 pmI am not dead yet
I can dance and I can sing
I am not dead yet
I can do the Highland Fling…
The Good:
• Mom visited for a week, and we only had two or three nerves-scraped-raw moments. Which, considering the amount of stress I’m under, is pretty amazing.
• Heather visited the weekend before that, and was a generally awesome visitor.
• I really like my new job and the people at said job. Great people, great environment, and our clients are trying to save the world through cleantech and other environmentally sound things.
• The new hours have made it easy to go running in the mornings.
• I’ll be completing my tattoo this weekend. Hopefully.
• I’ll be seeing my MSP peeps in a week. Woah.
• I had no break in medical or dental insurance. Yay!
The Bad:
• I still haven’t written up Heather’s trip or the past few weeks or anything, really.
• I feel very unbalanced/unmoored. Part of it is leaving the comfort and routine at WF, part of it is the steep learning curve I have here, and I think part of it is that everything else feels a little… shut-down. Grey. I wanted to hug the entire world last night because I was so happy, but I couldn’t think of one specific thing to focus the happiness on. My brain can’t latch on to anything right now. I would normally call this wooly feeling depression, but that’s not what it feels like this time.
• I do not have vision insurance anymore.
The Ugly:
• The shift in my regular workday (it starts and ends an hour later now) has played merry Hob with my end-of-day routines.
• The woman who occupied the position before me left a week and a half before the office moved to it new digs. (First day in the office was also my first day. Whee.) I’ve spent the majority of my first week tracking down appliances, working with building management to find out why it was so arctic in our offices, arguing with contractors over when the bathrooms will be done (We don’t have bathrooms right now. We have to go up 3 floors to use the restroom. GAH), etc.
• I’ve been trying to lose weight & get in shape, and it’s not working so much.
• The new office is an entirely Mac environment. I’m not a Mac-hater, but it’s been a little weird, trying to adjust. Also, Macs are a little too – perky – for me. I’m much more functionality-driven. I even switch Windows XP back to the classic layout because the new one is too soft for me.
There will be more updating later, I promise. Right now, we have to do a champagne toast to our first week in the new office.
