Been away...

Yes, I started a new job last week, at Bimbo Bakeries USA. It's an interesting place to work, but only a short (for now) contract. If you click the link above, you'll see their product line, which (I think) anyone should be familiar with. The commute isn't at all bad, since I'm doing a "reverse commute" and it doesn't take me nearly as long—and is not nearly as annoying—as the commute I used to make into Long Island City.

I have only one complaint, and it's not a biggie. They only type of paper towels they supply in either the bathrooms or the employee's cafeteria areas, are those non-absorbent, brown paper on big rolls type of towels. I spilled some water on my desk once, and I had to take about twenty feet of the toweling to pick up a half a glass of water, after pushing it uselessly around the desk for a while.

Well, I'm going to try to keep up this blog, but frankly, I am busy at work all day, and when I return home, the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a computer again, except for the necessity of going through my emails.

I must, however, plan for the future, as I suppose I'll be looking for another position in not too many weeks, after this contract runs out. This is the first contract position I've held in more than twenty years, and I'm still getting used to it. I prefer permanent work and working on Long Island to commuting into New York City, but I don't know how many contracts will be available when I'm looking again. It's very nervous-making for me, I must admit. Well, as long as the pay is good and I can afford (or receive) decent benefits, I guess I can bite the bullet and work anywhere that's commutable.

No more for today, dear reader.

Thanks,
Andy
