I started the new job today. It went fine I guess. I shall probably post more later, under friends-lock (I always friend-lock posts about work). Mainly, though, I just feel like crap thanks to the cousin who brought us a cold from Wisconsin for Thanksgiving. I am going to bed super-early and hoping I won't be as crappy and cranky tomorrow.

So I need to get our stuff in by Friday, which of course I have known about for months and have been saying "I have plenty of time." Except, now, not so much any ( Read more... )
