schemingreaderToday was my first day at my new 75% time job. It was nice. My coworkers put up signs in the entryway that said "Welcome Schemingreader!" (Only, with my real name instead of my nom-de-blog.)
The big challenge of this new job is that they have been relatively disorganized about the grant proposals. They have no unified deadline list for the grant proposals they write every year. This is a bit scary. Luckily I am a naturally disorganized person who has always had to hypercorrect. So I'm doing a lot of filing.
It's a very worthy organization and the people seem really nice and warm.
I didn't check in 45 times on my flist today. I am going to try to focus on work at work and on fun at home. Nevertheless, I did make some progress on my infamous, year old WIP. I decided that I was going to be like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I think I'm going to try to take down the drabble challenges and do drabbles on the commute, too.
