Settling. Down? In? Whichever it is, that's what I'm doing.

Things at my new job are going pretty well. There are only a few calls a day that I really have trouble with, and in those cases whoever I ask for help is generally also rather confounded by the situation. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on things. I've been working all weekend (in fact I'm at work right now), but it hasn't been bad. Yesterday I ended up working an hour of overtime, so today Aaron came up to Dallas and had lunch with me on the Company. Today has been extremely slow. They're doing a routine update of all of our systems, so they didn't schedule any installations for today, which drastically reduces our call volume. I spent most of the morning coloring in an old Garfield Coloring & Activity book. It's been great fun. The best part is that I get paid 1.5 times my normal wages because it's a Sunday. Best day ever.

At home I've really just been piddling my time away. I like it though. I didn't have to work on Thursday, so I went and got a hair cut. It's really quite short, but I think it looks, dare I say it, cute. After that a friend and I went to the Dallas Arboretum. They're having a pumpkin festival, and it was a miserably gray and chilly day, so it felt just like home! We had a good time. I hate to admit it, but I'm really glad she moved here. We've been friends forever, and I generally don't make friends with local people that I don't necessarily enjoy just for the sake of convenience, so it's nice to have someone I really enjoy and that is close enough to call up and hang out with at a moment's notice. I'll be sad when she goes.

In other news, I'm in the process of planning a trip up to New York sometime next year. Part of me wants to wait until September/October (preferably September, I want to take Aaron to the Garlic Festival) of next year, because it will be cool and beautiful, but the other part of me simply does not want to wait that long. We'll see. A year seems like a long time, but I suspect that next September will be here before I know what hit me.

I'm pretty sure I'm done flapping my gums now. I've been keeping up with everyone's journals, so I do wish the very best to everyone, but I'm keeping my nose out of things, especially where I know my advice is not wanted. I trust you guys to take care of yourselves.
