new job

back to working world. i forgot that the world even exists at 6:00 AM. having a job seriously impedes on my blogging. of course, the chief would argue that is a good thing. he even wrote a short story about it. i'll figure out a way to put a downloadable version of it up.

my new company is pretty cool. small place and everyone is pretty chill. no slogans or mantras, no stupid lectures on the illustrious history or how amazing the founders are. and everyone seems to have a life away from work. so basically, the oppositive of my old job. i like the work. even better, i love not being a consultant anymore.

had planned on being discreet with the h-bomb. those plans are shot since people keep introducing as having just graduated from there. so two days gone and i'm already the office dork.

working in alpharetta is strange. first, driving 45 minutes each way sucks (and that's WITHOUT traffic). leave at the crack of down to get on the road before mr. esuvee. i am in the land of strip malls. as my boss pointed out, at least at all of the lunch places are new to me. also, i think the lunch places confuse 'white collar' with 'white.' umm, what did you do with all of the indian, chinese, and black people? i used to work downtown, eat at peachtree center or fairlie poplar when it was nice outside. typical atlant scene there. here, it is honky central. if i didn't know better i'd think they revived jim crow. yesterday at jason's deli, the only two non-white people were me and the guy behind the counter. ok, i exagerrate a bit. i counted 200 lunch patrons (50 tables X 4 patrons/table) and 5 african-americans, 2 asians, and one indian (err, me).

i actually have work to do now.
