Fully Caffeinated

Ok, for those of you that followed my blog in earlier days...

I'm employed again.

I'm working in a Network Operations Center, which is a bit underemployed for me, but in this market I'll take it and be glad of it.

The schedule is NOT happy happy. I'm on second shift, which I can live with. I work Tuesday through Saturday, which is a bit of a pain.

I get NO holidays though, which is a ROYAL pain. I was supposed to host Christmas for the family this year, but if it isn't on a Sunday or a Monday, I'm not off.

Period.

The pay is about 2/3rd of what I earned at my last job, that's going to take adjustment.

Still, it's a delight to be working again, and there's a lot to learn at this place.

The dynamics are amusing and infuriating at the same time, I'm sure I'll be posting more about those.

NOC work is mad and hectic, with periods of pure boredom.

Speaking of which, time for me to head to work. I want to be there at 3:00 today, which is 30 minutes early.

At least I get to wake up slowly with a nice pot of coffee each day. That's a bit of a luxury.
