One more day til I start work, and it'll be a busy one! First thing is am early game at 9am, then we've gotta go see Dad, take my sister up to do laundry and pick up groceries, then get back in time for our second game at 5:30.
It's probably a good thing that we're so busy. It's less time for me to get anxious about starting work tomorrow. I'm excited, but also super nervous. I've been off from work for two full months, and 911 was such a terrible experience that I'm worried that I won't be able to do it. What if I do all this and I suck? 911 may have done some damage to my self esteem, I think. I'll be fine, it's just nerves.
I've already set my alarm for 5am for tomorrow. I need to be to work by 7:30, and I want a little tiem to wake up and have some coffee before I have to leave. That'll give me an hour and a half to have coffee and relax, so that should work well. I've got my outfit picked out, and I'm going to take my shower this afternoon, so my hair will be dry before bed.
I did have my haircut yesterday, so there's not as much it can do to have a bad hair day now. The sides and back are shaved fairly short, with the top just a little bit longer. It's super easy to take care of.
The email from Hopkins advises me to bring my phone and a charger for the orientation, which makes em think we're going to be watching it on there. I guess our laptops won't be ready. I may take my laptop and charger, and see if using that would be okay. Presumably they have wifi that I could use. I just think I'd be able to see things better, but we'll see.
The email informed me that the office is business casual and that jeans are okay to wear. I'm like "Uh-huh, the hell I will." I will wear my nice dress pants and a polo, thank you. I want to make a decent impression.
Aside from the haircut, I got my ass in gear early and went to Costco to get more of Dad's Ensure. Which, of course, they were 100% out of. So instead I spent money on other shit. Some of it we needed, but some...well, I got a little excited. After that, I relaxed and got ready for our MotW game, which is entering season 2. As expected, the players went in a completely different direction than expected, and decided to summon Posedion to ask him to remove a binding he'd placed on a nymph that bound her to the island. It went a little wild, and now the Greek Pantheon is preparing their debut into the world. They're going to have their own TikTok and website. It was hilarious and completely spur of the moment.
Okay, I am going to get myself together, maybe have a little more coffee, and get ready for game in 2 hours.
