Gosh, I live such an exciting life!

There are times when my icon is accurate, rather than sarcastic, and this is one of them. Here we are midway through December (and exactly how did that happen?) and I've just finished my 4th week in my new job. \o/

Which I am enjoying a lot, more even than I thought I would, so that's excellent news. In the last few weeks of working my notice from the previous job, I'd definitely had moments where I wondered if I knew what I was letting myself in for and whether this was a good idea. It definitely was. However, I'm not sure I ever really knew the meaning of the word 'busy' before, as some days now I can get to work, then look up from what I'm doing and 4 hours have passed and it's lunchtime.

Likewise, I'm struggling with the whole concept of driving to and from work all week and still having petrol in the car. This is not something I have been used to. Not that, so far, I have turned the not-driving time into productive fic-writing time, but that's because I'm a putz.

Speaking of driving, I keep seeing a sign on the way to work advertising Christmas cockerels and turkeys for sale - why would you buy someone a cockerel for Christmas unless you really disliked them?

Also, I have finished my submission for this years' Down the Chimney over at muncle, only 24 hours late, so hopefully sithdragn will not be breaking out the pitchfork and firey torch for my benefit.

Are they not for eating?

Glad to hear you're enjoying your job. Wow, can't say I can say the same. And although I have a ten mile commute, it's horrible due to wretched drivers, clogged roadways. Sigh.

Yay for the good news on the new job!

I'm really glad you're enjoying the job - I always say that's important considering how much time we spend there!! :)
