If there are any things at all that I miss about my old job, I can think of two things:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mostly, as should be expected, this means that traffic has once again entered my life as a variable factor of something capable of altering my mood.\u00a0 Yes, traffic in Atlanta is about as certain as death and taxes, but even my bag of tricks of things that I\u2019ve done in the past to help alleviate some of it have run dry, and although the first week wasn\u2019t that bad, without question, week two of the new jorb has fully exploited the worst-case scenario of commuting once again.\u00a0 This week alone, I\u2019ve had three hour-plus commutes, with one of them being a comedy of failure as semi after semi kept wrecking, and on one particular day, rain was introduced into the mix, and on a vastly shorter distance from new jorb to mythical girlfriend\u2019s place, it still exceeded an hour as I witnessed no less than seven rear-endings, presumably all caused by rubbernecking, within an eight mile stretch.<\/span><\/p>\n But I will not be deterred (much).\u00a0 The new jorb has been good, albeit a little bit of trial by fire, but that\u2019s fine with me.\u00a0 Aside from some hiccups coming out of the gates in the form of not having a fully-functional machine to work with, once it was established that I could begin working, it\u2019s literally been non-stop work since.\u00a0 This suits me fine, because I\u2019d rather be busy than bored in most cases, and the hours and days since my start have flown by, and I\u2019m optimistic about the future.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s funny, because I knew I had one friend going into this jorb, but in the old \u201cAtlanta creative community is small\u201d notion, it turns out that there\u2019s a former colleague from an old jorb that works there that I\u2019ve reconnected with, and in a truly full-circle kind of scenario, there\u2019s actually a person on my floor that I replaced at another company I worked at, when he resigned nearly 12 years ago.\u00a0 We met and spoke of our former place of employment, and how funny it is that we\u2019ve now ended up at the same place, in spite of him having over a decade of tenure up on me.<\/span><\/p>\n So ultimately, the new jorb is good, and I\u2019m happy about it, and the decision I made to make the switch in my career and life.<\/span><\/p>\n In related news however, due to the adjustments of a new job and all related impacts to daily life, my brogging schedule is bound to be a little wonky as things settle down, and I figure out how my daily schedule is, and finding times to sit down and write.\u00a0 Needless to say, due to the busy nature of work, and the obvious learning curve I\u2019m dealing with as I figure out procedure, protocol and workflow, I\u2019ve had pretty much no downtime at any point, and I feel like I\u2019m falling behind on news of the world, weird, and relevant to my general interests.\u00a0 Without means to scour my circles, I\u2019m often left without inspiration to write, and I\u2019m struggling to keep up with trying to account for having a post for every weekday, like I like to have.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, that\u2019s life in a nutshell at the moment.\u00a0 Professionally, things are going pretty well, and I have a means to be grateful for such.\u00a0 Personally, I have a job that I\u2019m optimistic about, and I\u2019m on the cusp of having my third car paid off, and I have mythical girlfriend who makes me happy.\u00a0 However, being the champion of empathy that I think I am, there are people around me who are going through some shitty things in life lately, and admittedly, it brings me down to a point where little of the good going on in my life really feels that good. \ud83d\ude10<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If there are any things at all that I miss about my old job, I can think of two things: My old
