New year, new job, new home (eventually)
My time at Arbitron is through. Tuesday, Jan. 3rd I started in the position in Mechanicsburg, PA with JPMorgan Chase near my hometown in south central PA. As one would expect, with a life change comes adjustment. But some of my adjustment is being deferred until the VA house sells and Stephanie and ET move up, too.
This past week was spent settling in, getting my new machines configured, figuring out the administrivia of HR benefits enrollment and meeting many new people. All signs are that this is going to be an interesting bout of work.
I'm staying at my dad's house for the time being. I spent two evening this past week out to dinner with Mark and Melanie and with Stephanie's parents. While at Stephanie's parents', I set up the new computer I picked up for her dad during after-Christmas sales. I think it's going to come in handy that I'm now local as he gets used to his new XP machine after finally moving off Windows 98.
