Been thinkin’ about you...wondering how it was going.

If you’re like me, you’ll be too tuckered out and frazzled from thenewjob to post much here but after you settle in and get comfortable, you’ll be back more often.

Whew! Thanks! You saved me from a late night funkle! ;o)

You nailed it exactly. I have a synapse firing this morning so I'll try to post a bit. I'm headed out into shopping world today to pick up some wardrobe items and storage/organization items for the NewJob. At the NewJob, they/we go out to and back from the range like breathing. The test areas are muddy, grubby places and I was dressed to impress all week. I finally remembered to take my steel-toed boots to work yesterday and sure enough, "Lil, grab your shoes, we're going out to the range!" And sure enough, I came back from the range with mud all over my fancy-pants slacks. :) Top of the list are jeans and khakis.

Part of the problem is that I'm qualified for the job. I've got 5 yrs in the field where most of their new hires are just out of college and, at most, they did an internship there. So from day one it was, "Lil, since you already know about X, you can do this and this and this and that, and here are some draft reports to review and we're going to need to put a working group together and you can be in charge of that and what's your opinion on this strategy because you're in charge of that, too..." and on and on. More than once I said, "Guys! It's only my second day!"

Ack! It's like trying to drink from a fire hose.
