I en't travelin' no more!
Aug. 4th, 2011 03:30 pmHello there, people in the box.
Except, in this computer, and my home computer (whenever I am reunited with it) you are in a flat screen, not a box. But whatever.
I am here in my new office at my new job, Getting Things Done. You might hear some sarcasm in that phrase as none of these Things are getting me *paid*, which is funny (sarcasm again) or sciencey at all (that's just sad); but they will be soon. The momentum is the thing. I do really like it here. I am absolutely done with living in boxes and suitcases and chaos, but will have to do for one more week (again.) I should mention that my house is adorable and everything we'd hoped--apart from all the boxes, which we'd obviously hoped to be done with by now, but.
I'm about to call up my fabulous former advisor in New York and see if he'll send me some samples I left in shipping-ready boxes. Really, I could send an email, but I miss him and I'd like to touch base. It's because of that guy that I feel confident in my ability to do this job, and I have total faith that he'll come through and jumpstart me on the fun part of it.
My lovely sweetie is here and working from home. He's struggling to adapt to keeping house, which he volunteered to do, but really is adorable and it's magnificent having him around for, what, going on two months solid in each other's company! Enough to hit introvert moments where I need him to Stop Talking To Me (poor boy, he always interprets this as anger--we're working on that) which is a luxury. He'll disappear for bouts of work back in his old town, but he's made a huge effort to move in here, make this home, and call it so. Love him lots. So besides the financial strain of two moves, one non-income and running out of credit line, life is really good.
Life is good, and it's nice to be building a routine that might let me get back in touch with you guys! How the hell are you? I missed you!
Eventually, there will be photo highlights and the odd story or two from recent adventures, but for the moment, it's nice to be back.
