Week Two
So begins the second week of my job (actually almost ends). I think I am now in a comfortable groove as to balancing the work/life equation. I’ve started going to the gym again, am sleeping better and all in all: happy. It is strange to have such a radical change in life in such a short amount of time. Still more strange to not have Amy here every day to experience it, but we’re managing.
I was out to lunch this week with a vendor of ours who happened to read my other site, on which I was musing about the decision to go back to work. Today I decided to re-read what I had written, and it was rather striking. It seems like reading the writing of another person, someone confused and bitter. Not me. And now, I’m neither, and that is good. Financially stable, physically OK and rather cool if I must say so.
I find it amazing how quickly things change, and how the mind adapts to such change. It wasn’t more than four months ago that I was committed to a career in academia. It was a year ago that I was not doing well mentally. It was nearly a year ago that I got married. And now, June of 2005, I’m in an awesome job, having fun doing it (so far!) and things are OK. See? Things can work out people.
Today at work we had a rap star serenade us. It was actually quite cool. I’m hoping for more alternative type bands to serenade us in the courtyard.
I’m not really into the blogging thing right now, but I shall later.
