Things Can Only Get Better ...

Today was my first day of work at the new job. While the actual work was pretty good (for the most part - there was some slightly intense physical exertion), the heat there works overtime and I was so horribly hot the whole day. I also had a hell of a time just getting to work in the first place. I was given incorrect directions to the parking garage and it took me forever to find the correct entrance. When I finally did get parked (and that wasn't easy either) I then had to schlep about three blocks out in the cold (around 9 degrees with sub-zero wind chills) just to get in the building. When I did get inside nobody has ever heard of the person I was supposed to meet and they kept sending me to the wrong place. I finally managed to find the correct place but they hadn't heard of the person I was looking for and had no idea I was coming. Eventually another person from the department came and got me and set me to work. It turns out the person I was supposed to report to was running late and caught up in traffic. She eventually showed up and I got my badge (so I can take the tunnel & have an easier time parking in the future). I'm still not able to get on the computer but since apparently the department I'm in just moved and is still unpacking & moving in, they had lots of stuff to keep me busy. In fact, they were blown away by my skills and efficiency.

On the upside of the new job, I'm working in the same building as astria. Hopefully, this will mean that we can catch up and maybe start having lunch together and possibly do more stuff together again. I honestly miss our times hanging out together and It'd be great to reconnect more.

Also, I was supposed to go to tonight's Indy Magic Monthly show tonight but I am so tired, sore and just work out I'm going to be doing well to be able to feed myself. Hopefully, I will be able to make it to next month's show instead.

So, that is it for me. I hope you all are doing well out there and I will try to keep in touch as often as possible.

TTFN!

friends, stress, work, links, health
