As some of you guys know, I started a new job last Thursday and it's quite a transition. While I really like it so far, there's a lot of things I miss about my old one. The people I worked with were terrific and we all really clicked. Now I have more people working for me but I think once we get used to each other we'll be right as rain too.

I like commuting in the opposite direction than that I'm use to. I've been making the drive towards Hartford for 13 years (spanning two jobs) and just seeing the country roads is pleasant for a change.

The property is beautiful, in a much different way than the last location. I went from marble lobbies and manicured landscaping to granite buildings with a river running through the property. It's very calming, actually. And rumor has it that the fishing is great. I hope I get to enjoy some.

But I really miss Pixies, the site and the people. I'm having a hard time with that. I've grown to love being at the site, and I really miss being there. It's a conduit to something I really love.

Right now, not only am I pretty busy, but I'm also playing it safe. So if you don't see me as regularly as you used to...it's not because I don't want to be here. And it's not because I don't care. I'll get over my snobby distaste for my cheesy home dial-up connection and check in more often from there.
