and it is only Tuesday!! It hasn't been bad, just jam packed!
I started a new job yesterday (still with the same company) but it is in a VERY different area, so I don't know anybody or really exactly what I'll be doing. I'm enjoying my days, which is good, but I'll be excited to have some real work to do!! And to get to know my team a little better. It's been a little lonely. I also think I was so lucky with the team I had, that it will be hard to compare.
This morning we were woken up by a chirping fire alarm. It seems that several of the fire alarms in our building decided to go off...without any real reason. Since originally we weren't sure if it was caused by a low battery, we got dressed and made a trip to our local, 24 hour grocer and picked up a few packs of 9-volt batteries (one pack was for our neighbor who we met for the first time this morning...4:15am is probably the best time to meet neighbors...I mean, I know it is when I look my best and am my most coherent...). Hopefully this was just a one night occurrence, because although I wasn't actually all that tired today, I don't think I can make a habit of it!
In other news, I finished Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson. I definitely liked this book better than the last book I had read by this author. The book was a recommendation from my brother, and it was quite good, and something I wouldn't have picked up on my own (since it doesn't involve vampires...). It did make me want to move into a cabin and be cut off from the world for a little while (even if that wasn't the point of the story). Now I'm on to a book my mom let me borrow. Even with the Kindle, reading gets a little pricey if you don't borrow books every once in a while :)
Well, two more days of work, and then we are out to Chicago!!
