Hippy is as hippy does

I’ve just been given a date to start my new job.
11th September 2006.
Not the most auspicious date, ‘specially for a financial services company in the landing/takeoff path of an airport!
Still, beggars can’t be choosers. I’m really looking forward to starting there now – mostly ‘cos the next month is going to be hectic in my current job. Roll on September!
Er, I s’pose I should tell you guys I got a new job. Not that you could tell.
Me and another guy on my team (let’s call him “Englebert”) both got new jobs at the same place. ‘Cos we’re so invaluable, they advertised (internally) for 3 bodies to replace us. They got 2 applicants, and one of them has just quit to go elsewhere! It looks like the one remaining applicant wasn’t suitable. That means I got a new job about 10 weeks ago, and I still can’t take it!
Isn’t it nice to be needed? No, not really!
If it was a job working for another company, I would’ve been long gone, instead of sitting in the same chair, listening to the same customers complain about the same systems that I don’t have any influence over. Ho hum.
I’ve been off work for a week. Two days back, and I’m exhausted. Coffee is my only friend.
I’ve changed my hours and it’s quite a shock to the system. I’m working from 10am to 9pm.
Admittedly I get to go home and argue with my kids for a few hours (2pm – 6pm), but somehow that doesn’t feel like a rest.
On a lighter note, Matt’s at school full time now, and he’s getting homework. Tomorrow I’ve got to help him find things that are bigger than the piece of paper he’s been given to measure with. 4 year old kids measuring stuff!! It’s gonna be great!
I’ll let you know what he finds.
