week 1 of new job done

its been weird, adjusting to 40+ hours/week  (more  like  45  when
lunch is included and then 50 when travel is included).  More than
once this week I came home and was only able to stay awake  longer
than 2 hours before sleep just took hold.

the job is awesome.  i was telling my roommate today how  nice  it
was to be able to chat with coworkers  throughout  the  day,  just
about whatever.  either because of social spheres or just  working
alone I haven't been able to do that in like 4 years.  everyone is
so nice, so relaxed, so chill able taking  10-15  minutes  to  not
work, and then go back to work.  its all so welcoming and  plesant
and not shitty and its hard to believe that I  was  able  to  land
something like this, though i did get it through a  referral,  but
thats how it goes.

the work itself i haven't done. it is apparently going to be about
a month beofore i am doing any work similar to my team members, so
about a month of getting to know everyone, doing training  things,
and continuing this low stress work day

so great

i really needed this.  (because money) but moreso because  i  have
been slowly drifting away from social stuff, and its been a string
of unemployment and not great jobs the last three years. and now i
have a career maybe.

thats also why i haven't been on the  town  all  week.   though  I
mostly lurk through feels, water plants, maybe idle  in  IRC,  and
then log out.  maybe that will change  when  i  have  more  energy
after work. maybe not.
