What a crappy day - the temperature is barely in the 50's and it's been raining since well before dawn. Can't complain, though. It hasn't rained around here in weeks. And you know, it's really not that obnoxious. It's that fall rain - light but steady. It's not really windy at all, so there's no additional leaf loss. I'm starting to feel like there's no real "Color Change" happening in the neighborhood - we're losing leaves to wind and dryness, not rain or color change.
Second day on the job and this 7am thing - though it could work for leaving earlier, really sucks when you're not used to getting up early (and when you've realized you're not a "morning guy"). Went out to handle some tickets by myself this afternoon and wound-up working right through lunch. This place is so damn big, I'm having trouble getting oriented and understanding which way I'm supposed to walk to find somebody's cubicle. It'll all work out - someday.
