Aug. 9th, 2011 11:42 pmIt must have been a good day at work today. Kelly came over to ask me if I ever go home, and I started to tell her that since I work 10 hour days, I generally go home around 6pm or 6:30pm. Then my eyes wandered over to the clock and I noticed it was 7. Right. So much for the errands I'd intended to run.
I thought I was going to be bored out of my mind by this job, but it's increasingly seeming like the most engaging job I've ever had. It seems to be a lot easier to get into a flow state when you are only a little bit challenged. Granted, it also helps that it is significantly more challenging than I expected.
I am also kind of loving being out in a cube environment again. While there is a certain amount of distraction from hearing everyone else's conversations, it can also be very helpful and lead to discovering that someone completely unexpected is working a similar problem.
But I miss my husband. I miss my bed. I miss my plants. I miss my parents. I miss my kitchen. I miss my reliable internet connection. I miss the sunshine (yes, the weather is better in Portland). And I don't love all the transit time.
