Yes, I'm updating at work. There are macros running on 2 of my 4 computers so I can't really do much else until they're done. I figured out what I'm supposed to be doing on 3 of the 4 computers, so that's progress. I don't know the entire process since people are kind of training me when they have time, but it's really not bad. I've been working from 7:30-4, which is actually nice because it means I'm back at the apartment by 4:30, at which point I can go to the pool or the gym, which hopefully won't be crowded since I figure most people are done with work at 5 and won't be back til at least 5:30. I'm going to try that today and see how that works, especially since I got here at 7:12 and can leave at 3:42, thus getting back around 4:15. Yeah, I have to be clocked in for EXACTLY 8.5 hours. I stayed a little longer one day last week and my boss came and was like, Can you leave 21 minutes early today because we can't afford to pay you overtime. OK, sure.
I moved out of my house and into the apartment this weekend and I'm actually almost completely unpacked. I had a moment of "Why did I move out?!" on Saturday night but that's passed and all is well. We went swimming yesterday. I was excited.
What else ... Shark Week (which I love) starts on Sunday, and the Discovery Channel building has a huge shark on it in anticipation. It's freakin awesome. A Jaws-fest is in order this weekend. It will be glorious. My family's going to the beach all during that week, which was always fun when I could go, but I didn't want to ask for a week off 3 weeks into a new job, so I'm working a half hour later Monday thru Thursday next week so I can get off at 2 on Friday and head down then. I figure that way I'll miss most of the traffic. A little trip to the beach is better than no trip, right?
I'm also going to Montana at the end of August. A couple things happened that made it REALLY affordable (thank you, you know who you are and I'm not going to embarrass you by telling your good deeds publicly), so I'll be there the 25th through the 28th. Good stuff.
I should get back to work. Bye.
