So I started work on Monday at Environment Canada.  The government certainly is a different environment than my old job.  Here in my department (the greenhouse gas division of the air pollution prevention directorate...or something like that?), people don't really care when I come and go, it seems.  It's also pretty laid back in terms of dress...I've been feeling a little overdressed all week compared to everyone else!

That's pretty much all that's new and different in my life this week.  I have my own phone line, my own computer, a new e-mail address (yes, another one!), and my own CUBE!!  Considering I barely had my own chair at my old work, I'm fascinated by so much space for just me! 

The only not-so-wonderful thing about my new job is that I work in Hull, so it takes me a bit longer to get to work.  As well, I also have to take the dreaded STO... y'know the busses only run every half hour...even during rush hour!!  How silly is that?!  At least from Rideau, I have a choice of about 5 busses, so it's not so bad.

That's pretty much it for now...
