Caterwauling

I’m feeling a weird combination of elatedness and headachiness tonight. The happy feeling is of course because I got something I really wanted. The achy feeling comes from cramming too damned much information in my head in a really short time. I am going to need to find room to hold lots more in the coming weeks. Damn it — I just hope I don’t forget all the lyrics to every Melissa Etheridge song ever written, although that would free up perhaps gigabytes of brainpower if that were to occur. 😉

The upside
1. I. Love. Everybody. There!
2. They seem to like/respect me too!
3. I have somewhere to wear my good clothes. 😉
4. It’s a new start in an environment that feels right.
5. Lots to learn.
6. Good learning curve.
7. I will grow alongside others who are capable of giving direction.
8. It’s everything I wanted and oh so much more!

The downside
1. The commute to East Jabip (particularly the Beltway).
2. I have to Dress Up. Like, every freaking day. No jeans, ever!!!
3. I foresee having a challenging time learning the subject matter.
4. A Really Good freelance gig just surfaced, but I doubt I’ll have time/energy to do it right now.
5. I don’t do Windows. Piece-of-shit PC. Bah. Who do I have to kill to get a Mac?

That’s totally it. Clearly, upsides kick downsides’ collective ass.

And it’s about friggin’ time. 🙂

On iTunes: Simon & Garfunkel, “Hazy Shade of Winter”
