Today was a good day. I ran 5 miles (in the windy, chilly, sunny morning), made kimchi, filed a little, and then went to the holiday party for my new job. The new job I haven’t started yet. It was fun, and I’m really glad I went. I met most of the team for the project I’ll be working on. My new boss (I think) was assigned to keep me company, so she introduced me to people and stuck by me. She’s really nice, and she filled me on what I’ll be doing and who I’ll be working with. Everyone was really friendly. I’m sure I’ll be nervous as my first day approaches, but after this afternoon, I think I’ll be able to keep those nerves to a minimum.
In other news, I’m cold. I think the thermostat is lying. It says it’s 68 degrees in the house (or at least in the dining room), but I don’t believe it. Appliances shouldn’t tell lies. (Is a thermostat an appliance? Maybe it’s a gadget.) Looking for a replacement is on my list of things to do tomorrow, along with making copies of my house keys and getting an oil change. And going to the library.
