(no subject)

Well, after four days on the job now... things are falling into place ridiculously well. It's not just the way the people are more mature and how they all are actually focused on what Politic Frog is doing (though maybe it is), and it's not just the way they're getting me up to speed in the fastest possible, but still sensible manner as opposed to letting me stay confused (though maybe it is), and it's not just that, with only half a year at the company this year to do it in, I'm double-maxing-out my 401(k) and still taking home almost as much as I was at DSB (though maybe it is). There's a lot of emotional stuff going on too.

( Emotions in here... )

Sorry for the babbling, but I ran into hiddenbear last night and it reminded me that I really wanted to write this stuff down.

And back to earth we drift... okay, not really.

I experienced my first work-related frustration today. It had to happen: I tried to get something (Clover) to get all installed and play nicely with ant, and didn't succeed. Nyergh! That's a familiar sort of frustrated feeling though... not so bad, certainly not Boredom the Deadly Enemy. (Also, my headphone cord is all tangly. I need these! But that's not the DE either, so really, all is well.)

I don't know if I'll take a lot of time to post this weekend. I need to write to a contractor who provided us a bathroom estimate, asking for clarification... go to Home Depot to look into a laminate top for our new vanity since at this point we'd be paying way too much for a solid-surface one... and hopefully finish up a comic I pencilled a few nights ago. I'm getting out of order with it now since I really want to go back to when the cats are talking, but I had a funny idea and couldn't keep myself from drawing.

Good night, everyone.
