First Day

Well, I turned up and they had been expecting me tomorrow rather than today but were more than happy to have me start a day early. This went rather well; the office is quiet but busy with good in-depth work that I can actually get into. Some of it's donkeywork but the donkeywork needs to get done before I can get to the other stuff, like drafting out e-mails to various of the authors, reviewers and other people. It's early days, but I think I'm going to like it there.

Unfortunately, the world once again proves that it's out to get me. Took a shower before this evening's episode of Lost, and when I turned the water off, the shower attachment fell off the bracket on the wall and landed right smack in the middle of my back. Hurts like a mad bitch. I swear, the world's out to beat me up.

Beyond that, it was a good evening. Had curry delivered, watched a DVD, watched Lost. You know, usual Wednesday stuff. Still, I'm knackered, but I don't know how much sleep I'm going to get due to back pain. Which pretty obviously sucks.

Incidentally, I might be a little late for tomorrow's game. Turns out it works better for one of the bosses if he and I work staggered shifts (something about network difficulties and the address database he needs for his work sometimes only being on my computer). So I'm going to start working 10-6 and see how it goes. I'll not be much later than 7, but I probably won't quite make it in at 7. Unless I take a shorter lunch break and let it even out that way...
