Starting slow
Apr. 8th, 2008 02:58 pmProbably best that the days start off quiet and easy, until I've finished burning off the jet lag. (Found myself wondering, more than once, how a half hour could have disappeared so quickly.) In the meantime, I'm poking my head around, seeing if anyone has projects they need help with. Nothing yet.
I'm bound to get assigned to a project soon, or given a task of my own at some point; but, realistically, it's only my second day back, and it's not like I can pick up stuff that I'd left fallow while I was away getting my paperwork straightened out. (The whole "might be back in a week, might take three months" thing kind of prevented my assignment to anything long-term. And if I thought it was bad when someone brushed me off with a quick "call be back April 10", I can imagine how bad it would be to be told: "he might be back in a week, or a month, or three months. Don't hold your breath.")
In the meantime, there's a sort of countdown going until my long-term residency must be established or I'll have to leave. Deadline is July 1.
Oh, and after getting to sleep sometime after midnight, I woke up about 4 in the morning and never really got back to sleep. And I think I just hit the wall, eleven hours later...
