Day 1 - Wading In

I had to get up earlier than usual to get the donuts to celebrate Jackson’s first day of work to rule. Now, it’s really ironic that W2R is more work than usual for me today, but cuddling up in the entryway with my colleagues since it so cold your head could fall off and walking in for donuts was kind of nice. As far as how W2R will affect me personally, I think I’m in a better position than most. Since the beginning of the year, I’ve almost been on work to rule due to all the work on the levy, so I don’t think it will be a huge adjustment for me this time. However, it only took until fourth hour before I noticed I was getting behind. Still, walking out at 3:25 was immensely satisfying.

Getting home at 4:00 pm was weird. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the extra time. Some people might catch up on home improvements, reconnect with family, or do some self improvement like exercise. I went online and read all the wanted postings on Craigslist. Lots of fun - I sold my old super-8 projector to a nice couple in Bloomington and really hope that one guy finds his 40 ukeles.
