The Other Shoe

No beating around the bush. The first day at the new office was overwhelming. Their workflows are not nearly so defined as that to which I am accustomed, and so it seemed like they (and soon I) do the work of what in St. Louis was divided among (no kidding) four different people. Craziness!

Plus, the drive home was just plain poopy. Smooth sailing for the first 10+ miles, then an inexplicable and entirely unmoveable parking lot.

But let's focus on positives: everyone was very friendly. No one was unnecessarily noisy or annoying. The creature comforts were more bountiful than i thought (fountain Cokes! Espresso bar! Water cup!) And, on reflection, I recall feeling similarly overwhelmed when starting at the old office, and I adjusted well there.
