Long time no communicate: An update

[ailbhe]

So, I have been in my new job over three weeks and I'm loving it. It's very close to home - 20 minutes' walk - and very close to the town centre, if I want to go there for lunch. The office is a moderately large open-plan affair, with no kettle. Oh, there's a kitchen area, and a coffee machine, but the tea water it spews isn't boiling and anyway the teabags are nasssssty. I may have to increase my coffee tolerance, as the coffee is at least drinkable.

No, no microwave.

My boss is great. So are my coworkers, most of 'em.

congrats

Congratulations on your new job. What do you like most about it so far, in terms of the daily work itself and some of the people there? It sounds pretty good. Is this a permanent position?

Re the tea: Maybe you could bring some bottled water and tea bags and make your own tea? When I was in uni I had a little pot I'd plug in to boil water...maybe that's something you can try. =)

Good to hear from you again - job sounds wonderfully convenient. I've only ever worked within walking distance of home once. I would like to think one could plan to do so, but reality is that we can't. Currently I drive 15 miles to work, Toni drives 35, and David about 8. At least only two of us actually drive cars and I don't have to go in every day now, but still. My ideal world would be one in which we all work within walking distance of our homes, there is a large and thriving poly/bi/bdsm-friendly community locally, no-one gets drunk, no-one ever hurts anyone without their consent, no-one goes hungry, there are no wars ... hey, who says I can't still be an idealist at my age???
