Tuesday Musings.

.....Monday at the new job was very much like Monday at the old job. Oh, wait, that's because I'm doing BOTH jobs. :-) The government is nothing if not predictable in this department. I was very naive to think that things would be different in this case. :-) But be that as it may...

.....There is a lot to learn about the new job. There are aspects of it that I cannot wait to sink my teeth into. Already making my lists and checking them twice. :-) Already looking forward to the next two installations, with the very next one being in King's Bay, Georgia. Probably will mean a road trip sometime in August or September, but it'll only be for a couple of days.

.....The hard part will be even faking like I really give a damn about keeping up with my old job of supporting emergent work in San Diego. Which, of course, I do care, but it is as busy as ever. I'm going to give my supervisors two weeks to make the transition themselves before I tell them that I'll do ONE or the OTHER, but NOT BOTH, and that they have to make up their minds as to what they want me to do. :-)

.....Reviewed the updated resume yesterday. I liked what I received. But, you know, as I read it I kept finding myself saying, 'I could have written this myself.' or 'I would have said this just a little differently here.' Not that I'm complaining. But I should have just buckled down and done it myself. Would have felt better about it having my own personal touch. And it had been at least five years since I touched it last, so of course it needed a major overhaul.

.....Crier archives are now in Cassie, awaiting delivery to Angharad. Just the working files remain in the house. Oh, boy, am I itching. :-) Sometime next week or the week after I'm going to sit down with Angharad and review how to lay out The Crier in Publisher. She'll be almost ready to go at that point. The living room had space in which to walk and I felt a little better for having removed the boxes from the area. I felt bad for mucking up the Beloved Tamm's working space. Hopefully she'll feel better for having more room in which to work today.

.....I was tired when I got home last night, and somewhat grouchy. I tried very hard not to take it out on Rhys when he acted like a 10 year old, but I did snap at him a couple of times. I can see that this parenting stuff takes a lot of work. But I was able to see it happening and can work on developing strategies to work AROUND it in the future. I would have had a much more difficult time doing this in my 20's. Being in my 40's now is something of an advantage in this department. :-)

.....Yakked long enough, time to get to work. Have a good Tuesday all! :-)

.....Aaron / Arontius.
