I've got the commute under control. No more missed trains, but I do have to catch the earlier 6:37 train instead of the 6:53, to allow more time to get to OTC.
I've purchased a really nice pair of sneakers, because I was getting excruciating lateral shin splints when I was walking between train stations and work. I had a gait analysis done, and all sorts of other readings and analyses to see what kind of walking shoe was best. I ended up spending more than I usually do, but what I usually do has ended up with me limping and almost falling down stairs from my ankle giving out. I'll try them out tomorrow to see what kind of improvement I get.
They are keeping me busy. There's not much in the way of large projects yet, they're still trying to see how much they can trust/rely on me, but I'm whizzing through the smaller things they're shoveling at me about as fast as they can send them. I've gotten a lot of great feedback already, and am hoping that the "3-6 month" timeline for promotion looks more in the way of 3 months than 6.
The biggest challenge for me has been overcoming whatever this food-sleepiness thing is. For months now, I've been having a problem with getting incredibly, overwhelmingly, unfightably sleepy immediately after eating. It's difficult to combat that in the office, where the constant hum of the AC is going, the clack clack of keyboards has become rhythmic, and the chair I'm in is super comfy. I've taken to popping a no-doz if it gets really bad. I *really* hate no-doz but it works for now.
Tomorrow is the start of week 2! Oh yeah, oh yeah! This is my excitement dance! /shimmy
