My new colleagues – Part 1

Did I mention this earlier, I started a new job?  June 10. 2019.  I left the previous one, working with CS became untenable.  I didn’t leave that job because I was bored, that’s for sure.  CS is one sharp guy and with all the advantages that come of being white, male, handsome.  I just don’t know, even after working with him for 6 years, what his work ethic is.  By contrast, my current manager kills himself working hard.  Any way, I’m here and we should paint a mural of my new place of work, I think.

We have 22(!!) people in the team.  Right there, ridiculous.  There are three founders, one has fantastic creds – built the pa for iphone.  Seems like a perfectly nice guy, his speech patterns are a bit odd, I was thinking Aspergers (yeah, I make these diagnoses by sight :/), but reflecting here, I am full of #@#$.  The second one is interesting, I was with some of the ladies in te=

I’m still stuck in my romance novel addiction, though it keeps getting worse and worse.  I think I fall off the wagon for the romantic, feel good story and then it descends into the soft porn territory and then I end up hating myself, for the time wasted, for spending it with poor writers, female emancipation guilt – past couple of novels had below 25 yo helming companies and rescuing them singlehandedly from going under.  😐 And even with that crap, I still can’t put down a bad book.  The weakness strikes when I am bored with the work I have to do, the lack of rosy world reading material and just the addiction to happily ever afters.  In the past month(s?) of this iteration, only two, count them, two!, are worth the time.  Christina Lauren – the UnHoneymooners – yes, the setup is eyeroll worthy, but there is a sweetness to it.  Charming, that’s the word.  The Hating Game – that’s the second one.  It was the better one.  Very sweet.  Not one of the dozen or so others that I’ve mowed through.  My modus is to start one, promise myself I’ll stop in 30 minutes and then 4-6 hours later, finish up the book and wonder what’s wrong with me.  Repeat again either immediately or after 24 hours.  Today, I stopped myself with reading the samples and then remembered the blog.  So thank you for rescuing me.  Read one of my earlier posts about the dream.  Had zip recollection of the dream itself, recall the headache, but that’s it.  See – writing’s important!
