Just a quick update about how things are going...
Things are moving fast paced here in Tallahassee... er, maybe it's just a normal pace and I've been well rested these last few months.
Anyway, I moved into my apartment, which is costly yet nice and quiet. The first day I moved in, I was just so nervous... it just seemed that I came back here to find a job only to pay for an apartment! It isn't easy finding a 1 bedroom or studio the week that FSU, FAMU, and Talla. Comm. College all start. I suddenly took what I could get... what I love, though, is that there aren't any wild parties and it's in a covenient part of town (i.e, away from the colleges and close to work.) I'm on the second floor that overlooks a berm of "small woods."
The only sad thing is that Molly isn't with me. She's with my sister because the pet fee was just too expensive for me right now. $400! (that's non-refundable-just-for-the-pleasure-of-having-a-dog-fee). If I choose to stay here, maybe I'll fork over the bucks, but right now it's convenient that Kim is watching her. With everything going on at work, my mind is so scattered.
Work has been going well. They needed me to hit the ground running; little did I know that I'd be running like the Starship Enterprise at warp 9! It's exciting, and I've been able to re-connect with a lot of my old colleagues... and they've been spreading the word to my new colleagues and I've gotten a lot of compliments. There's no room for me to be a slacker (which is not in my character anyway) but there are a lot of expectations that I hope I can meet, or better yet, surpass.
I'm helping with a grant that gives money to non-profits across Florida to help low income families mitigate against potential damages from hurricanes. It's for three years, and we're working really quickly to get the awards out and the program started. I could see why I was needed.... there's a need for program development and ensuring we're reporting efficiently and accurately.
That's about it for now. Peace!
