The gaily drind

A lot has happened this week, and therefore I have been too busy to write it all down. I started work in an honest to goodness office on Monday, and between the commute and the job itself, I have only had a few hours after work to relax, eat dinner, and prepare for the next day. I think I am setting my routine now, so I expect to be a little better about blogging as time goes on.

It's a contract job; it's a customer service job; it's a video game industry job; it's a dream job. I didn't expect my experience at this huge company to be so very positive, but it is. I'll give you an example.

Yesterday I turned 30. Not much fan fare, it's not like we have much in the way of income in order to celebrate such a milestone. Yes, yes, Valentine's Baby and all that. For that you can blame (or thank) my mother. In any case, I let it slip to a coworker, and by the end of the day walked out the door with several hundred dollars in video games as a gift from the department. That's the kind of people I work with. So yes, I meant to blog about my week last night, but I didn't. I was too busy enjoying my presents. I LOVE Rock Band!

The book planning isn't on hold so much as waiting for me to find my stride. I am thinking I might have to work at lunch, which will be fine as far as I can tell. Boyfriend is currently reading through the first draft of SotO, bless him. He says he's actually enjoying it. I'm not exactly sure how honest that is, but I suppose I could just take him at his word, right? So the day is about to begin, and so I must conclude here.
