In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky. Pnorny!

New Beginning
05.08.06 (9:06 pm)   [edit]
Since I started my new job today blog updates may be sporadic. Considering that I'm thoroughly fried after a day of corporate brainwashing plus a 3-hour roundtrip commute, if this entry lacks coherency, don't be surprised.

So far the only complaint I have about the job is the commute. My previous job took me 40 minutes one way but I had to drive. This jobs take 1.5 hours one way and I drive just to the train station. Still that's a long day and more time away from my family than I'd like.

But I'm committing to a six months tryout. Unless I screw up so royally that I get fired, I'm determined to tough it out for six months before re-assessing my commitment. If I stay it will have to be for an additional four and a half years so that my pension gets vested.

That's all for now. Must sleep, sleepy-bye. G'night!

Thanks for your kind words. My wife and I switched roles. She used to take them to school and I used to pick them up. Now I do the dropping off and it's working fine. I have to take them a bit earlier then they're used to but there's no last minute scramble and screaming to get things done.

She likes leaving early, going to work before the chaos erupts, and leaving early.

So far so good.
