A little over a month in and I'm still enjoying the new job.  I really like most of my co-workers a lot...

I got really sick last week, so I'm still recovering from that. I hate being sick!

I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but a friend of mine of 34 years passed away. Their memorial service is coming-up. I'm torn about going. Is that terrible of me?  I'm tired of being sad and crying. I'm not sure who the memorial is geared towards. If it's friends and family, I'll go. If it's more of a work thing, I'll pass.

The studying for my next license has stalled since I've been sick. A lot has. Gotta get back on track. Not tonight though. Tonight, I'm going to hit the sack early.

I'm 100 years-old.

The new job is going fairly well. One of the guys I work with forgets that I just started and don't really know a lot of the software, etc., but still has me start really complicated and difficult projects.  He's nice though, so I can't get too agitated. Yet.

One of the other guys is amazing. I'm very surprised we haven't met before I started the job. He grew-up near me, went to the same schools, worked for one of the same companies, owned the same uncommon breed of dog and knows a lot of the same people. We're about 2 years off in age, but it's still weird. He's cool people, a super-conservative libertarian, but cool nonetheless.

All of the other folks just want to help and make me feel welcome. I dig it.  It's a small office, but compared to the last job, where it was just me most of the time, it seems like it's teeming with people!

I'm enjoying my new job and especially the work hours. I haven't really been taking a lunch most days, but the hours go by quickly, so I don't notice it at the time.  My car has been acting-up, but taking the bus hasn't been a problem. It's a straight shot each way and usually takes 30 minutes or less. Compared to the commute to my last job, it's a breeze. When I drive, it's even shorter!

I'll report back later.
