See you later

And perhaps never again. Last week was my first week working both jobs. In theory it should have worked. I had already started wrapping things up at the old job so there really didn't seem like that much more to do. And new jobs always have a warming up period, especially when you're working part time. The other strange thing is that the two offices are one block apart. I had scheduled two and a half days at each place. It was all nice and organized. In theory.



I ended up working on things for both jobs every day and running back and forth between the two offices most days. Thursday night I got hardly any sleep as my mind just would not turn off. Remembering to do this little thing or that little thing for the old job and whirling with new ideas for the new job. I just couldn't get to sleep. And then once I did, I had to get up really really early for a training the next day that I was doing. By friday afternoon I was spent. And I still had too much to do left. But the weekend had arrived. And I slept and slept.



Saturday night a friend had a lovely party to celebrate the elections. A friend had brought their little baby who had the cutest onsie. It had "I'm ready for a change" on the front. And the next day I went down to New Bedford with friends to see the Phantom Tollbooth. It was a children's production so there were little kids everywhere. I was able to get some knitting done in the dark and am using the age old approach that a mistake is no longer a mistake if you repeat it. So am copying what I did on the first sleeve with the second. No one will be able to tell the difference. I'm working on another Peapod sweater for another baby born this fall.



By the time we got back Sunday night I was tired enough to go home, but too hungry to make it. My blood sugar had dropped. So in the end we had a girls night at A's where she taught me some make up tricks as she gave me a make over.



Which brings me to Monday morning when I had to enter back into the world of work. I realized, it was just too difficult so I got on the phone and ordered internet (and cable while I was at it). The cable guy just came yesterday afternoon to do the hook up and here I am with all these new toys.



There are so many channels. And so many shows I had no clue about. I watched a few Top Chefs that a friend loves. I think my favorite discovery from last night was Whatever Martha. It's this brilliant show where these two women just sit and watch old Martha Stewart shows and just tear them apart. It turns out one of them is Martha's daughter who comes across like a Carrie Fisher. Kind of tough and sarcastic. Not what you'd expect. It's the only way to watch Martha Stewart.



Well, I just wanted to say farewell as I don't think I'll ever see anyone again. I'll work remotely at home watching the endless entertainment I now have. Cheers!
