The newly employed....

Actually it's not that new anymore - I'm actually on week 4.  Pretty excited because I get my second paycheque on Thursday.  Not that excited because basically I've already spent it, but just happy to have cashflow coming in instead of just going out....

So, did I mention that I'm now working?

Did I mention that I'm shit-ass tired?

Okay, I'm exaggerating, but I so love to be a drama queen.  Actually, I'm doing pretty well energy wise.  It's funny, because I'm putting in longer days than my colleagues because I seem to feel the need to work a full day, however it's still waaayyyy less than I used to work.  Funny to listen to the team here in Toronto complain about long hours...  In reality - no one would know if I stayed or didn't stay.  My boss - and his boss - are in London and not only do they not try to find me, I can rarely find them.

So I'm blathering a little - blame it on the tired (I'll blame it on anything but me...) - but really, I do love to blather.

So back to the 'barely able to find them' point... which means any questions I have? I'm having difficulty finding answers and then when I DO talk to them?  They talk in a language I don't understand.  I guess it's 'IT' speak, but I like to call it 'airy fairy crap'.  I manage not to tell them that directly though.

Nothing like getting a new job to make you feel stupid.  After telling my neighbour at work that 'I'm not an idiot' for the last few weeks when telling him stories, today I turned to him and said, "Looks like I actually am an idiot."

I'm thinking that there's not really a chance that I'm that stupid, but I've yet to be convinced....
