Damn, I miss H&K.........NOT!

I have made it through the first two days at New Job and I must say this is the easiest flow into a new company that I have ever experienced. Let’s see, my first day at H&Ks brought me the realization that their standard install intervals were 60 days were my former company’s was 21 days. That was my first impression of H&K, that “can’t do” attitude. My first impression of New Job was learning a new customer’s internet was turned up in record time for their grand re-opening (mishap with some flames and such). Perhaps the easy transition is because I’ve been kind of working for my new employer part time for a week or two. Perhaps it’s because New Job was a customer of mine for 7 years and a lot of New Job’s customers were my customers as well. Perhaps it’s just because New Job is a great place to work chocked full of great people. Perhaps it’s because I’m super smart. Hmmm, it’s sure not that. Maybe it’s the drugs, I don’t know.

Ok, there aren’t any drugs, so it must be the job, but I had you there for a second, didn’t I? All is finally great on the professional front and that makes for one happy Suz.

On my first day here the Roommate asked if I had taken care of something and I said I didn’t know I was supposed to, to which he asked why? I stated I was new and he snapped back “how long do you think you can use that excuse?” and I stated that it work for a year at H&K so I suspect I could rely on it for 3 days here. That’s today so I guess I need to get my shit together.

In other news I am really enjoying Rufus Wainwright’s new CD, “Release the Stars” and have been listening to it non stop since it’s arrival on my front stoop. Particularly tracks #5, “Between My Legs”, #8 “Slideshow”, #1 “Do I Disappoint You” and the final, title track, “Release the Stars”, a plea to Hollywood to allow gay actors to come out of the closet. Good music all and everyone absolutely MUST hear it.

Also, this Sunday is our annual Wine-O Tour, 24 of my closest friends are packing into a limo to explore the best Pinot Noirs in the world, right here in our own backyard. Should be fun and many memories will be lost due to the flowing of the wine.

And finally, this past Friday night we had a wake for our friend Bart for his birthday. Great party and I will have photos and stories to tell soon.

Just as soon as I get a handle on Day Three at the New Job. Take care!
