So, didja miss me? →[More:] First day back among the workforce was cool, and shelving books...well, seeing some of the titles was like seeing old friends, even titles I've never read and never intend to. (I've shelved that many books in life is all.) The atmosphere was laid back and hands off. I was early arriving in the neighborhood and even had time to have a cuppa joe from my favorite coffee shop before starting the day.

One very other job I've had as an adult, my problem has been unrealistic expectations. I've decided to approach this simply as a job.

That "this is simply a job" attitude has gotten me through most of last six months of my job. Good on ya; if I was in that city instead of this one, the coffee'd be on me!
