which I started today. But it got upstaged by all the angry txt msgs.

My new job is kinda awesome. They don’t have a clue in this department all the complication, confusion and lack of direction I just came from. They sat me down at a desk with an actual trainer who gave me specific instruction. It’s a real luxury.

I’m working unconventional hours, but I’m unconventional so it may not be a problem. Frankly I’m relieved to not have to fight traffic and to have some business hours to get some things done.

The positives are that my job is the kind of work that I like to do. In a beautiful building and a good department with very little turnover. The only negative is that the schedule is weird.

And if I stayed where I was at, I’d be spending all my free time trying to figure out how to manage my stress in what few hours off I had since they’re about to institute mandatory overtime at a minimum of 8 hrs per week. Which means I’d be working all the hours I used to work and all my new weird hours too.

And probably heading for the looney bin inside of a few weeks for spending all that time not being able to sort out people’s problems while they yell at me for not being able to sort them out.

Oh yeah and my commute is actually shorter by almost 10 min.

The work seems straightforward and I think I’ll do it well. And work 40 hrs a week and leave work at my desk and go on to have a life outside of work.

That’s the plan anyway.
