what a wonderful first week. got more done than expected, feel more comfortable than expected, and just all around loving it. i can hardly believe they’re paying me to do this. heh. don’t get me wrong, i know there will be frustrations and arguments and bumps a plenty — no company exists without them — but the culture and environment are such that i don’t expect them to be nearly as toxic as some of the places i’ve encountered along the way.
first scheduled preview play day on monday. heh. three hours of gaming with a new set of product. i’m tickled pink. can’t wait.
workload is balanced, too. a lot to do, but not so much that i feel i can’t manage it. very very nice.
home life is quiet. first payday next week. soon to be ‘back on track’ and i’m smiling for that as well.
what bumps were occurring in personal areas are nicely behind me and i really do feel like i’m in the proper place and mindset for the coming close of the year (which is traditionally a time of burying the dead, purifying the mind of negativity, and preparing for the new year).
i am mildly surprised that things are stabilizing in relation to ancient wounds and how events tend to press upon them. i credit the self talk and meditation and myself. yes. myself. i’m just not willing to have the rest of my life be repeat episodes of the past. and you know what? i think it’s going ‘to stick’ this time. which is a damn good feeling.
not much more at the moment. i’m sleepy. but my mind if whirling with thoughts of work and plans of how to manage the things on my plate. in a good way. i’m enthused. excited even. this place feels good to me. those i work for are supportive and oriented toward positive rather than negative behaviors. wow. what a difference. 🙂
more another time. i’m ready to cuddle my pillows. hope your friday went well and your weekend is good to you. (hug)
