evening all
well, suprise, it takes longer to drive the 18.51km across the city to my new workplace than the 58.3km to my old one in Geelong (don't you love "whereis"?). More time, less petrol, more toll, more frustration. And no parking spot at the end of it. I lost count of how many times I said to myself " I should be on the train". Thank you Mrs Brown (how do you do that LJ ID thing?). I took your advice last night and looked at Metlink. So I theoretically know how it should be done. I drove this morning 'cause I had bags of stuff that did not get packed on Friday as we (again, suprise!) were busy with some random work emergency while the removalists came and took the rest away. So Tues with a lighter bag and heart , tomorrowI shall brave the public transport system. Even if it is forecast 11 degrees and hail.
The wierd thing that really was a suprise- for the first hour or so after arriving I felt truly wierded out, grumpy and wanted to burst into tears. Wasn't expecting that. Felt much better by the end of the day. Actually, felt much better by the end of the first hour when, despite wierd emotional stuff, I had managed to unpack and mostly set up my desk. There was too much actual work to be done to finish the set up, still dont know how to work the scanner or where the fax machine is etc. Oh and my computer had a spasm and needed a crash shutdown so I could leave the office- after spending the last hour or so intermittently swearing at it hanging. I was not alone in this latter problem.
Must say, first gear all the way through the domain tunnel is not something I am anxious to repeat.
