State of the Me
I know I've been horrible about updating. I think once I settle in at work I'll have a better idea how much time I have to goof. Right now, it's not much. My days fly by. This is not a bad thing.
But anyway, a brief update on the state of the me:
-I need a haircut in the worst way. This is the bad thing about having bangs and a real haircut. When it's too long, it's horrible. One side of my bangs keeps winging out and it's making me crazy.
-I am much more active at my job than I'd anticipated. In addition to the usual running up and down of any admin job, there's a longish walk from my car to my desk (and back) every day, plus the task of walking around the department, picking up books from the floor, pushing around a bookcart, etc. It probably doesn't sound like much to anybody else, but I'm currently paying for the year I spent doing my best impression of a three-toed sloth. Note to all authors: Living the life of a full-time writer is peachy and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but for the love of the deity of your choice, go into it with an exercise plan in place, or you will melt into your desk chair.
-My boss is a big fan of both Shakespeare and the Daily Show. So far, we get on famously. Actually, so far everybody I work with is great.
-I have a paper cut on the webbing between the index and middle finger of my right hand. I got it while photocopying reports this afternoon. You wouldn't believe how much it hurt. I think the copy paper at work is edged with razors.
-I really can't get over how happy I am to be working again. And Friday is payday!
