I want my brain back...
Nov. 26th, 2007 07:36 pmWork has eaten my brain. That was to be expected, really, but I'd forgotten just how much a new job can take out of you the first few weeks.
There was a lot of administrative stuff to go through, even today, and it's not over yet. God bless the federal government, but they sure do produce massive amounts of paperwork.
Everyone has been super super nice so far. It's a refreshing change from the old place. If ever I get my energy back, I will post in more detail than this. Not that much detail, because of the whole national security thing, but more detail than this. You might think I'm kidding about the national security thing, but I'm not. I just spent two hours today learning how to send top-secret encrypted faxes. It's a lot less glamorous than it sounds. :P
My co-worker, C (I will eventually figure out a proper nickname for her here), has decided that I'm going to be her gym buddy while we're at the RCMP. She's a bit of a fitness freak, and is trying to become a regular member of the RCMP (one of the ones who gets to wear the red serge, that is). Since we have a gym in the building, it's hard to justify not using it. So I bought a gym bag at Canadian Tire and I'll be joining her tomorrow after work. It's good for me, right?
I think I shall splurge this weekend and pick up that bread maker that's on sale. I have heard good reviews so far, and what with the price of even el cheapo generic bread skyrocketing, I think it may well be a worthwhile investment. We shall see.
I was going to post more, but my brain just went on strike and refuses to remember what I wanted to say. I guess it'll have to wait.
