So heard this week I was indeed scheduled to start my new (temp - 6 months to a year) job. It is a branch of the federal government using temp agency and agency hired me. I started training yesterday. It was a bit of an ordeal to get all the clearance/paperwork submitted. I hope it is worth it. I am excited, but also a bit sad to lose the freedom of my days any way I want to structure them/and miss staying up late. I will adjust.
I did do a small hike outdoors with a few of the hiking group ladies. Just 6 of us. We do NOT carpool and mind social distancing very carefully/cover our face with masks if pref. It was a beautiful day! Lots of wild flowers.
I have done a bit more work outside with my own flowers and hostas/veggies. Has been very cold week. 3 nights we dipped below freezing so I was out running around covering things with tarps/sheets/towels. Most of our stuff escaped unscathed.
I am not complaining, my friends up north about 4 hours are having snow today. Wed and Thurs were pretty, sunny and nice. Today it is cool and gray. I just lit a few lamps around the house and a candle for coziness. I am stuck again day 2 here at computer for training. It seems crazy introducing all these concepts to us with no written/electronically accessible material and no context of operating system we will be using - but they didn't ask me. We get our dept issued laptops and cell phones next week.
Well. That's about all. Oh, I did trade my little pick up for an SUV. I really do prefer SUV's. I just hope I don't miss the bed of my truck for hauling - maybe it will save me money in the yard! I can't easily just go buy dirt/rocks/pavers, plants. My DH is now going to sell his bike and get an older truck.
I hope you all have a nice weekend!
Working from home must be interesting especially learning a system. Enjoy that SUV and as long as DH is getting an older truck, you won't miss yours.
