Once more into the breach...
Yesterday was my first day back at work after being off for summer vacation. I had expected it to be a difficult transition, but found it surprisingly easy to resume my post. My commute is a fraction of what it was last year and I really like my co-workers. Those two factors alone can make or break it for me. Overall, my day was a solid "good." Have I explained my day-ranking system on here before? Maybe I better take a minute and do that...
A question I hear quite often after returning home from work is, "How was your day?" Most of time I lack the energy to give a detailed report, so I have broken it down into a continuum of six one-word responses. They are, in order from better to worse, awesome!!, good, okay, meh, crappy, and @#$%-y. If I resort to profanity, you know it was a really horrible day. As I said earlier, yesterday was good; it was better than okay, but not quite awesome.
I was so stunned that my first day didn't suck, that I didn't remember until 10:00 at night that I had to go back the next day. And everyday this week. And everyday after that until June. The first day went by so fast. If only they all would.
