Aug. 7th, 2004 09:33 amLife seems to go from one extreme to the other: I'm either bored or so busy that I barely have time to check e-mail, much less post something substantive. Basically the job at Microsoft seems to be going well, indeed involves a lot of travel, and I'm still just getting a handle on all the things I have to learn just for the immediate future. As I told
loree, it is really cutting into my laying around time :>
The Microsoft people are cool--if all geeks and workaholic geeks at that--but demanding, the cafeteria food is pretty so-so, and there is no shortage of minor perks for working there--I've been to three morale events and two Meltdown parties since I started. I even got a paycheck earlier than expected--at NEO they told me that my first paycheck would be middle of August, but I got paid on the first of August.
In addition to the new job, I've been doing a number of games in preparation for Dragonflight next weekend, trying to get Koshka to use this crazy-expensive drinking fountain which so far she seems to actively avoid, and even managed a few dates with
jeliza.
All-in-all, I'm feeling pretty good and keeping busy.
My dreams have been rather vivid lately, and many of them involving various ex g/fs as usual, but I've generally managed to shake off any lingering moodiness in the morning. I'm guessing the intensity of them is because my alarm is going off in the later parts of REM. Guess I need to find my subconscious a better job too :>
