Back again

So much for regular posting, huh? Some evil force infected my home computer, and I've been unable to get it fixed like I hoped. But now, I have a new laptop for work, so I'm connected at home again. God, I love my job.

Yes, six weeks into the new gig and I'm still happy, happy, happy. It's so different from my last job. Not just the work itself -- which, duh. It's also so much more of a healthy atmosphere; I didn't even realize how bad the old place really was til I actually left.

My life has changed so much in the last six weeks. I have free time now that I don't have to do so much -- especially movie watching. Until Thursday, I hadn't even gone to a movie in almost two months. I finally broke down and went to see "United 93" at the bargain theater the night before it left town. (Harrowing film, by the way, but definitely glad to have seen it.) I'll go see another movie Tuesday when "Superman Returns" opens in an outing with some co-workers and others.

Yes, I'm hanging out with co-workers. I haven't done that much since my friend Beth left the paper last year. General dissatisfaction with my environment? Mostly. Overload of stress? Certainly. A commentary on those I used to work with? Not really, but I certainly have a lot more in common with the people at my new job.
