Random Work Related Ramble

I'm in a weird mood.
OK, weirder than usual.

I've been considering writing a work-related post for a while, but either didn't have the time or the interest in saying things.

God, I've been in the DC area for basically three months. THREE MONTHS!

By and large, I really like my job. I can honestly say that this is NOT what I expected out of "Real life", but I'm not complaining now that I'm here.
My only issues with the job regard what I had hoped to be doing and that I'm not. I'm working with surface water, just not like I expected. I'm not sure how much actual engineering I'm actually doing, at the moment. Certainly not WHERE I expected to be. (I was contemplating moving, sure, but not A) so far away and B) so far away from any friends I've made so far)
But I like the place I work in, I like the people I work with, I basically like the job (though there's days I want to pull my hair out of my head, strand by strand and then grab a sledgehammer and beating heads in.)

I was walking around and remembering the first time I got a tour of this place. It was alot more confusing then. Tons of new faces, tons of new rooms. Human Resources there. (Where?). The plotters over there. (Yes, but where is that in relation to me?). The boss over in this corner. I was a lost little boy in a huge big scary world.
Turns out now that I'm a little more used to being here, it's alot smaller than it seemed then, with alot less people (there are a couple hundred of us in this office. Of them, only a handful of whom I really need to work with, of course.)

I'm certainly lucky: to have found a job and a job I like and, just as important, because my girlfriend found a job in the area.
Just rambling.
OK, I'll stop.

Oo.. I can finally use the Dilbert Picture APPROPRIATELY! :D
