Hit the road, Jack

My new gig started yesterday, and there's so much to adjust to that the jury is definitely still out.

I know that I'll have to stop saying things like, "At my old job, we X, Y and Z". But, so far, I've found it hard to resist the temptation.

Isn't that the healthiest thing for any new relationship?? Unfiltered talk about the ex?

One thing I DO know is that I've been lucky with the commute so far. It's more than double my former commute (there I go again...comparing apples and kiwis) but mostly, it moves. On some level, I tell myself that it's a good thing - I'll get to catch up on my books-on-CD on the 30-mile drive. But when I see the unpredictable patches of brake lights at 7:30 every morning, I'm never really sure they'll let up and the traffic will get going again.
