Well, so far so good. My co-workers seem a bit jaded, but they’re all customer support engineer-type people so I can understand. I’m still trying to get up to speed so I’m just hiding and reading training materials.

On the way to work I was wondering why everyone was driving so slowly. It was making me nuts. Then I noticed that a car had slid into the ditch. It was icy, and I don’t drive like a maniac so much any more, so I didn’t notice. I mean going from an S2000 to a Civic Hybrid pretty much means boring driver, doesn’t it? I guess it got even worse after I got to work and there was a head-on collision just outside the entrance to the parking lot. My boss had to work from home because his driveway was a sheet of ice.

I will say one more thing about work: my laptop is starting to die. If I pick it up, the video goes blank and I can’t get it to come back. A blank screened laptop isn’t worth all that much but I don’t think I’m in line for a new laptop for another year (they replace them on a scheduled basis). Weird.
