T. Rowe Price

By now everyone should know I got a job working at T. Rowe Price doing technical support.
Finally a full-time day job that pays well [quite well in fact]. I'm so happy! =)

Sara was able to suggest my name to Beth at Comsys when the openings came in that very morning. I had an over-the-phone interview later that week, and an in-person interview that next Monday. Everything flowed so smoothly; the process, the interviews, etc that I was destined for this. And thank you everyone who was praying for me!

The group of people I'm working with are all around my age, and are all friendly and helpful. The company is solid, and has a good culture and cares about their employees. This is great.

The transition has been a little rough but I'm getting used to it. I was used to going to bed whenever I wanted (usually around 4am) for the past year and a half, and getting out of bed whenever I felt like it (noon? 1pm? no prob!).
Now I'm working 9am-6pm M-F (with an hour lunch in there), tho it takes me roughly 40 min to get to work in the mornings and 45-50 min to get home, so a lot of my time each day is eaten up by the commitment to this job. Ick. :-/
Going to bed before midnight is new to me... in fact being in bed by 11 is almost mandatory to make sure I get enough sleep. I'm working on getting adjusted to the new sleep-cycle tho.

Hopefully by Feb 1st I will have located & secured an apartment in the Owings Mills/Reisterstown area and be moving into it. That will cut down my commute time drastically, down to only 5-15 min each way, depending on the exact location.
Before then, I'd like swap my car with something more enjoyable, and I've set my sights once again on the PT Cruiser.
After Windows 7 drops at the end of the month I'm going to buy a powerful desktop computer (then dual boot Ubuntu Linux on it).
And either this weekend or this coming week I'm going to buy the Samsung Rogue, the same cell phone Sara has.
