I think I’ve developed a cold; I didn’t
sleep well at all last night (again).
I was breathless for much of the night.
Over a rather early brekkie I watched an
episode of “The Darling Buds of May”;
it was rather predictable, but passed an hour. I then had a look at the
Internet; pretty much nothing of note had happened overnight so I set off for
work. I was glad that the car hadn’t iced up, but it was foggy this morning.
And as I drove I realised how grubby the windscreen had become. I suppose that
can only be a result of forty miles of motorway driving every day. I shall do
something rather rash – I shall wash my car this weekend.
As I drove the pundits on the radio were
discussing President Trump. The chap is apparently going ahead with his plans
to build a wall to
keep the Mexicans out. And he is also apparently adamant that the Mexicans
are going to pay for it. Interesting times…
I got to work... It is still early days
and I’m still learning what lanes to be in at what stage of the journey, and
where is the best place to park in the hospital car park. I had a minor
melt-down when I got to the car park this morning. It actually took a major
effort of will to walk into the place today. For all that I can come over as a
loud extrovert, like all loud extroverts I’m actually rather shy. I’m the new
boy in the place; there is probably about thirty to forty people in the
laboratory where I work and I’m probably one of the oldest three there. Everyone
knows everyone else, and I don’t know anyone.
Have I made a terrible mistake in leaving
all that I knew and venturing into the unknown? Possibly. Who knows… Time will
tell. It always does. But there is no going back - my old job has gone as a
cost-saving.
In the meantime I shall carry on
treating the whole thing as a big adventure. Which it is.
From work I went straight to Steve and
Sarah’s where we had a rather good bit of Chinese, followed by an astro club
committee meeting. All sorts of plans made for the future. I wonder how I’ll
arrange my working life around them?
