There have been a few hiccups getting settled in my new job, but things are going well and I'm more excited about my work than I have been for a decade or so.

I went home at lunch time and ran the water tank hills. It's great to work so close to home now. It felt really good to run again. I have access to the showers in building K now, and checked them out today. The Novell fitness center is much nicer, but they're not bad. It will be nice to settle into a running routine again. I hope that happens soon.

Glad to hear you're settling into your new job. Change can certainly be a good thing.

Our schedule at work has changed a bit as they now would like us to work from home four days a week. Tuesday is the only day that we're supposed to come in (and the 18th we have a team lunch scheduled :(

I'm now thinking that we could just run on one or two other days during the week. For that matter we could meet at your house as I would just drive from home on those days. That would make it easier for Larry, Wayne and Kevin and I could just shower at home.

That sounds like a good plan to me. I think going home to run will work out fine. I can probably drive home as fast as I walk to building K, and the facilities are nicer. I'll talk to Larry, Wayne, and Kevin. As you said, it should be much easier for them.
