Hiya...

So apparently I still remember the password to this thing. :-)

It's been a busy three and a half months since my last post... and the new job has been good to me. I had an urge to post something that was on my mind, but I'm not sure exactly how to get it out. So I'll type out some words and see what comes out.

I've been thinking lately that I'm more comfortable being by myself than I'm comfortable with. I probably could have phrased that better, but it works. I spend far too much of my time outside of work by myself... and often, even when I do go out, I put myself in situations where while I may be surrounded by people, the interaction isn't there, so I'm mentally alone, even so.

Some of the reasons for this are obvious, given my history. While I'm not entirely sure this is a bad thing — I think the time to myself helps keep me 'sane' — I'm not entirely happy with this behavior either.

I need to get out there and expand my social circle a bit. I have ample opportunity to do so... it's just that I hate that initial awkward phase of getting to know someone. I hate it to the point that just thinking about it makes me cringe.

I'm not sure this deserves an "argh"... but it definitely deserves a blah...

Beginnings...

So I started my new job yesterday... It's been a bit crazy, figuring out what's what, and how things are set up now, and what needs to be fixed or corrected.

...but it's fun. I know it was the right move. I'm excited to get to work every day. :-)

Whee!

Things new...

So last week was a bit of a whirlwind. On Wednesday, I had an impromptu interview. I was in an office for something else for work, and after finishing what I was there for, they asked something along the lines of "Hey, we got your information a while back, do you have a few min to do an interview now?"

Umh... what does one say to that. "Of course..."

Apparently they thought that the interview went better than I thought it went, because less than 24 hours later, they offered me the job. Either that, or the people I gave as references really talked me up. After thinking about it for a while - I do love my current job, and I work with great people - I accepted the job.

I start in two weeks. I am excited. :-)
