I’m tired

Work has been hard on me. Nobody said it was easy, right? It sure is different from this side of things i.e. being a research technician who seems to be any and everything to a lab versus a student who is not as beholden as a techie. I don’t mind it for now. I’ve had my dark moments of “what in God’s name did I sign up for?” Moments where I wish I’d held out rather than going against my instincts. However, I’ve only been 2 weeks on the job and my prayer is that certain things get better. I understood the nature of the beast, but certain expectations are a little outre. Still, in accordance with my employer’s policy, I am on probation for 3 mths wherein I can be fired without even being given a reason. Naturally, I’m going to be on my best-est behaviour till the danger period has passed. Speaking really conservatively, I plan on being here for a year and then, doing something different. I’ve already started doing the groundwork/research and so wish me luck in my unnamed endeavour. In other news, Matt and I have “graduated” from sleeping in our little bitty 10 by 10 room. lol. It’s not as bad as it sounds. We had the run of the house and still do in our larger room. It’s comfy and even though it comes with a higher price tag, I’m grateful. After all my bitching, we’re still paying less than we would if we lived on our own. However, at times, the argument for having our own place holds sway over everything else. No offense, but man, I’ve got cat hair everywhere! I love the kitties (Shout out to Snookie, Sammy and Misty), but they sure do shed! Bonnie, the dog, not so much. They do make for nice camera subjects and I shall be making use of my Flickr account to showcase some of my fine work featuring all 3 cats. You’ll love them like I do. Meanwhile, stay tuned.
