The New Jenn

Our new senior help desk tech started today. He seems like a nice guy, and he’s a big geek. That’s what we wanted, and he’s great. I got to introduce him around the office.  Our helpdesk manager doesn’t like it when I refer to him as “the new Bob.” It’s just a reference. When I started, I was “the new Jenn” for months. People know her, so they had an idea what I would be doing. I guess part of the issue is that the position is going to be changing. That’s okay, mine did too, drastically.

Our rollout went much smoother than I had expected. I bailed out of the office about 2:45 and came home to sleep. Well, first I picked up the trash that Reggie had gotten into. Chapter Seven says stop blaming the dog. It was my fault for leaving the trash where he could get into it. He really needs a bath now.  But I napped from about 3:00 to 7:00 and that was seriously needed. Between having a relapse with my MS and the loss of sleep over this rollout, I’m exhausted.

After my nap, I ate a little bit of food and then went to Home Depot for some painting supplies. My bathroom is starting to look much better. I have some trim work to do and the top near the ceiling, but then it’ll be done. The tops might have to fall to my landlord, though. I was up on my little stool tonight with a roller and had a little tumble. I only fell about nine inches, but it was enough to remind me that I shouldn’t be dealing with hights when my MS is acting up.

I’m still trying to decide if I want to take Reggie with me on the MS Walk. Three miles might be a little bit much for him, and I’d end up carrying him.
