Grudgingly rise with the 6:00 alarm, sit shower and collect my things for work. Getting the hard-boiled egg ready, it turns out that I didn't cook them nearly long enough, so I'll have to address that tonight. Out on the road and in to work at 7:15.
Begin the new year with a number of issues. I'm beginning to get a sense of the scale of work here, but I have a feeling I have another few weeks of assimilating the information about the environment and business before I can make truly independent (and quality) decisions about then work that needs to happen. Many items on the docket for the year already, so I'll be jumping straight into the fire. I have to be careful - I have a tendency to rush headlong into these things without considering repercussions. This is definitely an environment that requires more careful consideration. The more I look at it, this is a necessary environment for me.
I must still be detoxing from my Bayer experience. Had a dream/nightmare last night where I was still working for my last manager, though I think the dream was really about communication. Also had confirmation on New Year's eve that my declining another offer was the right thing to do. That environment was definitely not the right one for me. Still so much more to work through.
-------
Afternoon is much better - a mea culpa or two, and reassuring the local manager after watching her twitch during the morning's events. Some final meetings and review of a new item, and now to head home.
