Mood: reflective, settled, happy. It's 8:38am and I'm commuting to my workplace ready for my 4th day of observing and training. This isn't the 'second' original job I had it's a completely new 'out of the blue' one. These past 9 days have been fucking frustrating and disheartening.

So yeah, no this week hasn't felt any better (or worse for that matter), it's just mellowed out on weird. I can't even tell you what I did on Frid- wait I remember, my memory is terrible.
