Tomorrow, it’s back to the salt mines.

Today is my last day off before the new job. My beard has grown in fairly well, so I’m comfortable there. I got a couple of financial things taken care of that I needed to do before I was comfortable travelling. And, I got us both new phones. That’s actually more important than it sounds! Over the weekend, my old phone got dropped into a puddle and was reading “Headset” permanently, which made it useless. So, now we have two, nice, new GSM phones and a new, cheaper calling plan that starts on th 17th.
Today, though, I plan on taking it easy. I do have a little ironing to do before work tomorrow, but the rest of the day is going to be nice and slow. The wife and I might take in a movie, since I’m off. Some low-impact shopping, too. Nothing too fast paced or stressful.

I’m pretty excited about starting the new job, but a little apprehensive, too. I mean, it’s the “prefect” job for me, so if it doesn’t work out well, I’m sort of sunk. The job description reads like my resume, which is good, but if I hate this job for some reason, where would I go? Of course, most of that kind of thinking is just fear talking. I’m sure that everything will go swimmingly. And, really, I am looking forward to it.
