This is it. It’s my last day to sit around in my jammies until noon on a weekday, reading blog after blog, sipping coffee, getting prepared to meander through the day. It’s my last day to live by my own schedule.
And that’s just fine!
The only thing I rue is that I am a night owl and will have to arise at 6 a.m. this week to get into San Francisco by 9 a.m. After this week I’ll work out of an office in Milpitas, which is only an eight-mile commute (though on the dreaded 880). My workday will begin between 9-9:30 a.m., which means I’ll be able to get up at 8:00 — a vastly more acceptable time, since I rarely go to bed before midnight.
I’ve been imagining how I’ll order my day. To help keep me on schedule, it might be best if I keep the computer turned off in the morning and only check messages and blogs after work, in the evening. I won’t have access to all this at work. This means I’ll need to be judicious with my Internet time. Well, it will fall into place.
Hands On Bay Area here I come!

Best of luck, Kathryn! I hope this turns out to be your best and most fantastic job ever.
My significant other starts back to work Wednesday … he’s been between jobs since Nov. 30, so it’s been a nice break.
I look forward to hearing about your transition back to work.
bon voyage! may your journey – both literally and metaphorically be fantastic . . . 🙂
Best wishes on your new adventure!
Kathryn-
I had the best time exploring around here today. I was blown away by your openness and strength and vulnerability…I wish you all the best in your endeavors, but I know that anything you enter into with your whole being cannot go wrong.
You’ve got some wonderful stuff here. I wish I’d come around earlier, but I’ll be hanging around some more for sure.
I loved your artwork and photos, too.
Anyway, you made my day much brighter. Thanks.
Scott
Good luck with the job! Your blogging rhythm will adjust (I can’t access blogs at work either). And, hey, I’ll be in Milpitas late Wednesday night through Thursday afternoon! (Attending a conference for work.)
Congratulations and best of luck! I know you’ll do great with whatever you put your heart into. 🙂
