Lunch Break.
Ok, I'm getting sick. I can feel it and it sucks. there is this itchy feeling in my throat coupled by pain when I swallow. And at night it's worse. So, I'm going to overload my body with vitamins, once I buy them tonight.
I moved into my new place last night. I haven't fully finished unpacking. Not because I have a lot of stuff, but because I didn't feel like it. And I can tell that....well, that there are a lot of things that I'm going to have to get used to and/or tolerate. But, it's good for now, and it's good to finally feel settled.
I'm also gaining the beginnings of a social life. Saturday I was invited out by a girl that used to work at Wizard (until Friday). I went to the bar with her and her friend and we met another guy from work. she introduced me to a whole bunch of people. We danced on the tiny, crappy dancefloor in the bar and stayed out really late. It was way cool!
And next weekend, I'm going to a Halloween party at a club in the city. Tickets are more expensive than my finances allow right now, but my ticket is paid for because I'm the designated driver. And I'm getting help finding a last minute costume. So, that will probably rock. and if it doesn't, a girl from work is throwing a Halloween party the next evening that I am also going to go to.
And then, the weekend after that, is a huge semi-annual party that three of the guys at the office throw.
So, I finally feel like I'm meeting people (and not just at work) and I'm keeping busy for the next couple of weeks.
Work itself goes as it goes.
I've been working in research for the past week. This is the job that I was not given when they had an opening. So, it's a little frustrating to be in here. Especially since I feel like I'm doing a good job and don't understand why I was overlooked.
It's not like I really want to do this job. But it's supposedly the "jumping in" job here. So, I am confused. However, now that I know what I'm doing, I'm really quite good at this. it takes the ability to multi-task and be organized as well as to deal with people.
Alright. back to my food.
