who needs happiness anyway? Or new years...

[dolorosa_12]

The new year has begun in inimitable Ronni style, with a truly dreadful first day at The Canberra Times. Being locked out of the building because I had no swipe card and the reception desk was closed set the tone for the whole day. I was cold, hungry, overdressed in suit and shirt, and dead tired after the New Year's revelries. I was (don't laugh) also a bit rusty with using non-Mac computers for anything other than Word and so I kept trying to italicise things and ending up opening something I didn't mean to, and freaking out...

But more than the worry was the boredom. Is this what working life will be like forever? Constantly trying to look busy so as to avoid doing anything too difficult or time-consuming?

Anyway, at least I will never have to do another first day there again, and it will probably get better.
