I remember when I got out of college and got my first fulltime job. I'd go to work, get home at 8, go to bed, up at 7, to work at 10, home at 8, go to bed...working fulltime for the first time just exhausted me.
So, too, yesterday. It was my first day working in an actual office in four months. And it smacked me up pretty good!
The job, by the way, is at one of the classic Minnesota companies. And the building is chock-full of a whole lot of classic Minnesotans. For someone who's been working at dotcoms and software shops for most of the last decade, it felt I'd stepped into "Wobegone Junior"; acres of gray-haired, mildly-padded, earnest Lutherans. Don't get me wrong, it was great working again, even if only for a week (so far). But the only thing that didn't feel like I'd gone back to the sixties was the lack of narrow black ties.
And I have to get back there. But I will catch up on the blogging tonight.
