Dedicated the Merit of Today's Work to Serna. Yesterday's big accomplishment was determining how to provide usernames and passwords to faculty for the Wiki. Today I'd say the biggest accomplishment was getting some good feedback from Ibrahim about how we're communicating, and how well the hedge I've built around him is working. (I think that's a key piece of my job.)
I feel good about this job, like there may be many interesting and challenging things to do in it. That's new for me. I think I've been unchallenged and bored in my entire professional work life. Maybe, hope against hope, this job will be a good fit for me.
On to matters of home and hearth. Settled in at the dorm. Feels kind of surreal being back here. Still on antihistamines and cortisone from the dermatographia @ 1633. I am eating well and getting no exercise; recipe for weight gain and ill health. I need to change that. I'd like to work hard at getting up earlier, getting in to work at 7:30 maybe. Then maybe I will feel like I have some daylight left at the end of these short winter days to get some walking in, and maybe some errands accomplished.
