Day 2
Dammit, why do I always have to dial up three times before I get connected? I think it's time to look for a new ISP ...
Today was my second day at the new job ... it was okay, but I'm still settling in. At least I've mostly got my PC set up the way I like it :-) And at least I'm past the point of being nervous walking in the door in the morning. I don't really want to blog too much about work (even though it is obviously one of the three or four big things going on with me right now and I want to talk about it!) ... it just doesn't seem like a good idea. Not that I'd be giving away company secrets or anything, but still :-) Plus, some of what I'd say would just be repeating myself - everything I said in my last post still holds true.
So what are the other big things going on? Well, sadly enough, one is getting my laptop - which Dell are now saying will arrive tomorrow, according to their online tracking system, or next Tuesday, according to their customer service rep. One is another thing that I don't really want to blog about, even though I do - suffice to say that leaving ATC has been pretty tough for a variety of reasons. And the last big thing is my driver's test on Thursday, which I don't even want to think about, never mind blog about! I know I can control the car, and in any reasonable test where I'm not so nervous I'm shaking I'd pass just fine - but I don't think that the K53 is necessarily a reasonable test, and I know I'm going to be ridiculously nervous!
In fact, I was going to join the SADev movie group on Wednesday - they're going to see Kingdom of Heaven - but since my test is at 8:45 on Thursday morning, and I'm going for a lesson first, which means I have to get up just after 6:00, I think it's probably not a good idea. Besides which, I'd just be nervous all through the movie and wouldn't enjoy it. I'll probably go watch The Wedding Date on Saturday, though (since I won't be having a driving lesson - either way! - so I'll have the afternoon free). It's one of those dumb romantic comedies that, I'm embarrassed to admit, I love watching. It's a pity life isn't like it is in the movies.
Anyway, as I said in a comment elsewhere on this blog, I've pretty much decided on atspace.com to host my website - they're free, no ads, no bandwidth limit, and they seem fairly fast and reliable. Good enough for me! And I've got all my javascript working beautifully, so now all I need to do is create some simple graphics, and write the actual content. It's a pretty simple site, but at least it'll tie up the various sites I have lying around, and give me a place to point people to to find my cv, blog, etc.
