hi

thank you for the thread and for the thoughts...

yes this whole week was 'heavy' ... TGIF to the nth power.
math geek.
yeah, just not as smart.

that aside. leaving hard... until the last 2 days, then... very revealing. clent took my direct contact information. my boss and his boss each told me they would call me if funds for the project were available ... reason given totally did not match what contractor says... funny that. but they requested info, including expiration date of the contract i am starting - i.e. my "next availability."

my boss looked the docs i sent him and was good with them.
i was able to get some really important parts working before leaving that was satisfying.

the new job is totally different environment... building is not ours, we are in the basement but well furbished, A/C good bathroom.... snack/bev machines and coffee are a good walk upstairs... not sure how to get a caffeine fix fast if i need one.

the 'boss/lead' can be intense, engaging... strongly... but so far he has done things in a way that has been helpful... getting me acquaited with things, with what i'd be doing or tasks i'd be acquiring, and communicating that to the people involved. so apparently for tomorrow they have something for me to start with... i hope to goodness it's something i have done before and will not muddle through. i kept locking myself out of accounts today. it was terrible. i did more times in one day today than i have in my entire life before now, i'm sure!!!!!!!!! and i KNOW HOW it happens, that the thing!

the other guys were all pretty nice. no gals, just guys. but that's pretty typical in my field and group of 4-5 ppl.

i am hoping it will feel nice to be part of a team again, even though i was starting to feel that with my boss, at the other place. so it's strange.
