It's freaking August already! Of 2021. Life I know how summer usually means a busy time for most people. It wasn't so much for me - my kids are still too little and we had some fun this summer but didn't brave outside a whole lot (maybe next year). And still, I am ready for summer to end. For one thing, stuff does slow down a little during rest of the year, and by stuff, I mean work mostly. And on the other hand, I'm ready for real school to start, so that I don't feel bad that my kids are wasting their brains, LOL. I got to catchup with life this week and that means a great deal. There were a million things eating my brain all the time, distracting me from other things, so it was good to check off a bunch of things from my list. There's still more but for now, I'm in a good place (until it creeps up again of course). This and next week, we are going to be busy with back-to-school stuff. Since my daughter is moving to the public school this year (first gr
As most of you know, I just started work this past week. It's a software engineering profile with a communications company. Before grad school, I had already worked two years, so industry is not a new experience for me. Still, any new job is always a new thing, and means a lot of learning during the first few weeks. And that's how my last week looked like.
After two years of a carefree lifestyle (I could take days off when I wished, deadlines weren't rigid), I'm now trying to mold my lifestyle into a more disciplined one. I was already used to a routine, but this new routine means sleeping even early (trying to get used to this), waking up even early (struggling with this too), and coming home to do anything but work (this I could get used to). I love the coming home part. It still feels too good to be true that I'm home and can watch a movie or read a book without worrying about deadlines (yet). That said, I loved my first week back at work. I haven't yet got into any rigorous work, but that's only a matter of time. It was fun learning new stuff, having my own cubicle and meeting new people professionally.
Although it was an easy week work-wise, I was still very tired each day after reaching home. I'm putting that up as a case of first-work-week syndrome. The dreaded syndrome didn't even let me have an hour of peaceful reading. Of course, the best part of coming home is my daily relaxing cup of tea, without which I surely can't unknot.
I did a little reading yesterday and hope to keep the rhythm going. Meanwhile, I'm still catching up on the blogs on my reader, but the end looks to be in sight. I also have some plans for my blog, that I'm thinking of - just waiting for a few nuts and bolts to tighten. And hey, Fall's here - what TV show are you most looking forward to? (My answers - Glee and Vampire Diaries!)

No worries about not reading. You will..
Here is my Sunday Salon post!
Now that I'm "retired/free lance," I still get up very early. After thirty years of it, my brain is programmed for it!
Hope you enjoy your schedule...looking forward to what you're planning for your blog.
I'm excited about the fall TV schedule too!

As for TV shows...I'm definitely (obviously) looking forward to Vampire Diaries!!! And then, it would be Fringe, my absolute favorite show ever. Other than that, there are quite a few, but none that really pop out.
:-)
My favorite fall TV show coming up? House!
I am just really excited that I won't have to watch anymore reruns! Seriously, between reruns and the crappy movies that "someone" has been picking from Netflix, I am ready to revolt.
The getting up early is still tough, as is so little free time.
Glad your first week went well; enjoy.
Glad that the job is going well and how fortunate that you have a four day work week right off the bat :)
