Settlings and Upheavals

Well, I've been in the new job for over two weeks now and despite a chaotic start where I had no email and nobody to show/tell me what to do for several days, things are settling down and I am slowly starting to get the hang of some parts of my job. It's a very different job to my last one, where I was out, about and busy among ordinary users, as opposed to my current situation of sitting at a desk, leaping tall filesystems with a single keystroke.

So just as that portion of my life begins to approach some form of normality, another prepares to go mental. In two days time, we complete the purchase of our new house, pick up the keys, and begin the process of moving. It all seems to have gone remarkably smoothly so far, but no doubt chaos will kick in as soon as we get there. We have many volunteers to help with decorating and shifting furniture.
