Life Stories: April 2005 Archives
Yes, the rumors are true: I give you, MONdog!
I don't know why I've been feeling so blah recently, but I'm afraid I'm starting to take it out on other people. My new job is stressful -- mainly because I'm still getting used to it -- but my life is really good. There's no reason for me to feel irritable or uneasy, but I have been and I'm trying to stop. I've been eating normally and exercising normally. My sleep schedule is shifting to be earlier than it was, thanks to my new job, but I've been getting enough rest I believe. Hrm. Maybe there's no explanation, it just is what it is.
If you notice, I have several Los Angeles traffic links on the left sidebar. I take the 405 north and south more often than any other freeway, and I like to know what I'm getting into. If only there were a "traffic report" that could predict congestion a few days in advance like they do with the weather... but traffic is too chaotic in the short-term and highly dependent on accidents. Anyway, my new favorite is this page that calculates the travel times between various junctions along the 405; there are equivalent pages for other highways as well.
I can't write much now, as I'm off to work. The job looks cool, but it'll take me a little while to settle in. You know how it goes. I'll still be able to post during lunch and stuff, most likely. School is ramping up again now for the final final push.
Today is my first day at my new job. It's training and orientation I think, so I won't be hooking up with my new unit until tomorrow. I'm so excited!
Update:
Everything went well. The company looks like it will be a nice place to work for a while, and I'm excited about meeting my co-workers tomorrow. I have to get a new phone though, one without a camera. How inconvenient.
