Today? Was a much better day. It helped that my back wasn't killing me. It hurt so badly yesterday that that really contributed to my off mood. I rescheduled my massage for next weekend instead of in three weeks.

Seriously, I have just made a huge change in my working life, and I can't expect to immediately be used to everything. Besides that, I have an incredible husband who knows when I need coddling and when I need a loving kick in the patoot. I kinda got both today.

I will feel a lot less out of it when I have my log in name, and then I can have access to email. Yay! I will not feel lost and adrift!

Listening to the Nine Inch Nails. So good. Finished reading Prince Caspian. Also so good.

So... good!

(Also: if your NIN CD is the new one then one of my best friends is hideously jealous of you, even though she doesn't know you. Um. Thought you ought to know!)

Muahahaha, I am envied! (It is the new one)

How is it? I've been listening to the new Tori and the new Jorane. If the stars are aligned I will get Stars, The Arcade Fire and the Be Good Tanyas all on the same day this summer. But, yeesss, details on the new NIN.

It's good - it's similar to his other stuff, but more accessible this time round. He's got some funk, almost, in the dirge :P

I like it.

Often the first day of a good new thing is really overwhelming and doesn't feel all that good, at least in my experience. It takes a little while to get your bearings and figure out what the expectations of you are in the strange new place.

I enjoy a nice cup of herbal tea at the office, usually one around 8:30am and another in the afternoon. :)

The handy proximity of your office to the south end of Denver also means it will be easy to meet up with you after work! :D

Yes, and today was a better day still. I'm just so bloody tired. I shouldn't be so tired sitting at a desk all day. My brain is fuzzy :(

[pteropod.livejournal.com]

But sometimes it IS so tiring! I don't know why either. Sometimes I think it's because of the relative sameness of what happens throughout the day -- namely, the sitting at a desk part.

I find that I do best when I do some exercise in the morning before, because it wakes me up enough to start the day. :)

I'm going to keep doing stretches in the morning - that has helped. Taking a walk at lunch is good too. There is a gym right down the street that I will be joining at the end of the month - I have never been able to do the before work exercise, but I can do the after work kind.

Also, is it just odd working with men? I'm the only female on a team of six, and they are all nice but not social at all (in the way I'm used to). How do you deal with that? None of them are mean or grumpy or anything - they just aren't preschool teachers :P

Helo me, oh mentor!
