Life Update
Aug. 22nd, 2007 02:37 pmYeah, it's gone on a little while since I last posted here, so I thought I should put in a few words.
First off, it's going very well at my new job. I'm feeling challenged and kept busy without feeling like I'm being given busywork, and I'm learning more about drupal all the time. I've even made my first post to the company blog (somewhere on www.pingv.com) although it had more to do with non-drupal ways to test xmlrpc servers than drupal itself. Still, useful, and someone even commented on it.
Personally, I think this job is going to be good for me health-wise as well. I'm doing a lot of walking around - to and from the bus stop, as well as to and from lunches, which often range 5-9 blocks away. Also, I'm snacking less as part of my job, which is less calories in.
Today was nice - I went and found a nice Asian restaurant called Moongate, and then wandered off to a used bookstore that had caught my eye the other day. It's at 18th and Pearl, and it's great - tons of books all crammed together in towering shelves. I found a few books I had my eyes out for, and happily scampered on back to work. I'll have to work up a list... it's got some books that the Mystery bookstore ('High Crimes') didn't have - the Mystery bookstore specializes more in new books than old (although it does have some used books), but this used bookstore is packed with good stuff.
