Today was my first day at the new job which was a lot like the old job I got laid off from in the sense that I saw a lot of people I know who were surprised and happy to hear of my return to the company. Didn’t get a lot done today other than catching up with once-former-now-once-more coworkers as they didn’t have my badge ready or a computer setup for me as of yet. Hell, I’ve not even seen the building I’ll be supporting yet as I’m spending this week shadowing Rob as he shows me the ropes in the new department. It really felt familiar, though, because Rob is one of my best friends and the guy I used to work this job with in the past.

Needless to say I didn’t get any blogging in as I usually do on Mondays and this evening isn’t looking good either as Anne and I are going to Courtney’s high school “meet the teachers” thing they’re doing tonight. So consider this an open thread to talk about whatever you want to talk about. Hopefully I’ll be able to return to regular blogging soon.

Is the hangnail sorted now?

At least you know some people you will be working with, so the “new job” shouldn’t be such a jolt to the system.

Hope it works out for you the way you want it to.

Hang nail was nipped the day I wrote about it as soon as I got home where my nail clippers lay waiting.

I’ve discovered that it all boils down to brain wiring: your brain is wired to worship magic or it isn’t, either it’s wired to utilize logic or it isn’t, either it’s analytical of myths or it isn’t.

All we need to do is nip the World Hangnail, and all will be peace and light…
