Ahh, my first day off in over a week. Must relax!

I was transferred by my company to a new job site in Ripley, WV. My commute has jumped from 2 minutes at worst to 45 minutes each way. @_@ I thought I didn't have free time before, but now I'm hard pressed to find much time for anything. Sleep has always been the first thing for me to cut back on to get in time to enjoy life, but one can only cut back on it so long.

The upside is that this location has a lot more positives going for it. I find my days much less stressful. I actually can leave the building to take a lunch more often than not, whereas before I was cramming something sub-par into my craw while working simultaneously, or just not eating at all, for an entire span of my regular 10-hour shift. Now I don't have a constant laundry list of problems to address from the moment I walk in to the moment I leave. There are issues, but they are being handled by a team, rather than just me and maybe one other person. Also, due to the distance I am getting a raise to compensate for gas. In that way, I can view it as a promotion.

Vacation coming up the week after next. Plans include not making plans; just letting some spontaneity into my day.
