Tired, but not sleepy
There's something wrong about this.
I had a long, hard day at the office....brain fried before I left. Even after all that, it's 11:30 and I'm still not in bed.....don't get that.
No grandchild yet, but can't be long now. If no delivery until then, induced labor will begin Monday.
New father, Rob, is a basket case. He was fine until there was a false start last week. Now he's ready for this to all be over right now.
It will be soon, one way or the other (kid comes on his own, or they give him a jump start.)
Maybe I will actually go to bed. Trying to put lucid thoughts together is tough; perhaps a clue that I should sleep.

This work stuff gets in the way of blogging
Just because there's been a gap in posting here doesn't mean there have been no goings-on. The quiet has to do with lots of happenings distracting from the blogging.
Number one, I'm working....had a paycheck and everything. I keep pinching myself to see if I'm dreaming, but yes the job is real, yes I have insurance, investment plan, work to do, all that stuff. I like these people. They like me. I know stuff they need. All is good, but when I get home after work I don't seem to have the energy for extracurricular blogging.
Late spring has finally arrived and summer is almost here, so yard work is back. No special projects here, but maintenance still needs doing.
On the grandparent front, we thought we'd have news the other day....but no, false alarm. The little guy decided to be bashful and stay put awhile longer. Amanda isn't fully due for a bit over a week yet, but it won't be long. Will have pictures to post when the little scutter actually does get here.
A rather brief post, I know, but at least something to show we're still alive here.

Liesure certainly is over
Not that they're killing me, but let's put it this way, I have two days on the job and it's taken me a day and a half to get caught up on my email. Seems to me that's a sure sign of eventually not having to worry about keeping busy.
I like this place. They are doing a whole bunch of stuff right, there's more stuff to be done, they recognize that, and they seem to be doing the right things to address the needs.
I was issued a laptop computer before lunch on my first day, and it worked right the first time. My phone worked from the get go as well. Everyone has been very pleased that I'm around and genuinely helpful.
What I hate is being the newby. Everybody knows more than I do about the nitty gritty stuff. I'll get over that rather quickly, I'm sure, but I still hate the starting-over part of the 'no worries' about having enough to do.
Well, by this time tomorrow I'll have added a full 33% more experience so my observations and attitudes have high potential of doing some shifting. Stay tuned.
