All the activity, all the excitement, and none of the sleep.

Well, at least that’s how this first week at my new job has felt like. After being untethered from the circadian rhythm of the business world for the past few months, my body is fighting me tooth and nail for those long sleep session it used to enjoy. Sorry buddy, but this is a fight you’re not gonna win. I’ll give you that extra hour of sleep when daylight savings ends, but until then you’ll just have to suck it up and deal.

Really, that’s about the only down side so far. I’ve got a new neighborhood to explore for little hidden treasures on my lunch breaks. I’ve got a whole host of fresh, friendly faces that I have to try to remember names for. And I have a basket full of fresh, interesting work to dive into — the first official deadline has been unofficially set and I’m back in the groove again. For now I’m splitting time between one of their office PCs and my PowerBook, but a new computer has been ordered and should be in my clutches soon enough.

Elsewhere in the world, I’ve been busy going to far too many shows and posting visual results for you all to drink in over at my other hobby site. Had I known that the first of August would be bringing with it a new job I might not have bought all those tickets in the start of July. Oh who am I kidding? Of course I would have bought them!

As Donny-D would say: “sleep when you’re dead”.
