Not Dead Yet

I really want to blog more. Really, I do.

I just finished my third week at my new job. So far I like it quite a bit. The staff is really great, even if they are all women in their fifties and sixties (not that I have anything against the gender or the age group, but as a thirty year old male I don't have a lot of common ground with them). I'm still arranging meetings with all sorts of people, and learning who hates who, who is allied with who. The town that I work in has a lot of small-town politics, which is something new to me.

I start school again this week for my hated masters program. It will be my first semester with eight credits (two four credit courses). The last two semesters I've taken six credits. We'll see how well this experiment goes. I don't want to drop a class because I really want to be done by the end of the summer.

Tonight I'm going to the staff holiday party. I made a Boston cream pie to bring. I hope it ensures their undying devotion to me.
