Second day at the new job and I'm not drowning yet. Got lost in the cafeteria after getting coffee; I walked around and around it (all the modules converge around it, so there are four exit points that link to each other along the diagonal) until I finally figured out I needed to follow the signs to K module.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good job, Sail! And don't worry if it gets worse before it gets better. I figure a new job takes three months, anyway, to even figure out.

Oh, yeah. Three months to discover all the basics and master them, then another three to fine tune it. First year is developing as many timesaving processes as possible, because people.

All my electronics now have orange-red tones because it's after sunset. It's weird and will take some getting used to, but since it takes little to no effort I may as well roll with it and see if it helps.

I'm having a fashion make-over for work, sort of. We have to wear our staff ID badges on lanyards around our neck, which makes it a little hard to wear pretty necklaces and stuff, so I ordered three different beaded lanyards from Amazon. Not gonna let the haters keep me from the pretty!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My DH called me this afternoon to let me know my FiL had a bad trauma injury and had to be airlifted to a hospital with a trauma center. So he's there now with his dad. Good news is FiL is stable and will ultimately be fine, but he lost a finger and sounds like he may need further surgery.

Lost a finger?!? Dear goodness, what did the man do?

...did it involve a table saw? I'm just saying, the house I grew up in had a bloodstain in the garage that never came out.
I got an email last night that one of the jobs I interviewed for is at the committee stage, so I should know soon if they're going to offer it to me.
