new job but no one knows I am here...
So here I sit. Waited this morning for my new boss to contact me...gave up at 9am and called him. He won't be in today or tomorrow. Should I just go around introducing myself to people? No, he says, I will try to come in tomorrow for that - or maybe I'll just phone conference in.
A stellar way to start. No new location. They're looking for that. Replacement for the job I had for 2 days is sitting here too. I am supposed to brief her on all the work I accomplished in 16 hours...
Monday.
Weekend was good. Both kids went to different parties. One baker, one swimmer. The swimmer had some problems with kids - what else is new - she is a fish. Level 7 Red Cross at the age of 5. Other kids her age are not as comfortable with the water and got annoyed with her splashing. She wasn't being a PIA (not that she can't be...) she's just a splashy swimmer!
Not enough sleep for days. Why is it that these kids wake up at 4am?
Reading Rosie O's comments. Why do I do this to myself. It is compelling in the same way we crane our necks to see a car crash. There are people spewing hatred and fighting each other.
It's nice to be under the radar!

1) I totally know what you mean about the comments on Rosie's blog! Sometimes the bile gets to me, but then, also, the happy-happy love-fest notes--hundreds upon hundreds of them--are so boring I almost look forward to the rabble-rousers!
2) Holy shit, could you have a more anxiety-making work life?? Hope the new gig's better than you think it'll be. I hate change.
3) Kids and skin color: my son wishes we were all brown, and also wishes more kids at school were brown. Some kids have made stupid comments, and they stick with him. But he's blesed with an upbeat temperament, and I think it'll stand him in good stead. He's also got Indian relatives in the family, and that really helps him to feel that diversity is more than just words. What do your kids make of it all?
