I've been at the new job for 100 calendar days now, and it's going well. I'm feeling confident with the work and I like the team. We work what's called a 9/80 shift, meaning 80 hours divided over 9 days every fortnight, with every other Friday off.
Last Friday was an off day, and I took the day to visit a friend in Washington State. (I'll post details under a friends cut.)
In other calendrical matters, today is the equinox and Hobbit Day! And (l'havdil) Rosh haShana coming up on Monday. My calendars for the new Hebrew year arrived yesterday.
Tomorrow is a working Friday, but it'll be a break from the routine: we're making a trip to the company's site in northeastern Oregon to watch a drone flight. Kind of like a class field trip. I normally work remotely from my apartment, so it'll be nice to meet the team in person.
Plans for the weekend: make a trip into Portland on Sunday, and start getting the rest of my stuff out of storage. (It's been sitting there for too long already, costing me money every month, and I have no plans to move back to Portland proper.) I hope to have the storage cube emptied, once and for all, by the end of October.
Goals for the coming year: I've been keeping up with my fitness goals in terms of daily walking and exercise, now I want to get serious about a daily run. Also, keep building on the habit of READING REAL BOOKS!
