Routine

Finally, after three weeks of here-there-and-everywhereness, I start a three month contract with a large corporation today. I don't have my log in details and access all sorted out yet, so actual work is proving difficult, but I've read a bit of process documentation and met some nice people, including bumping into my old payroll manager from a previous company. Small world, etc.
I haven't been so excited about a new job for ages. It's because usually changing jobs means going from one nine-to-five to another, but today is the first time since Christmas that I've had to get up, put office clothes on and do the commute. Suddenly it feels like the first time I went to work.
The office is deserted, as only two people from a team of what looks like about 8 are actually here (the rest are working at a different site) Bizarrely, I don't think I've yet heard a phone ring. Must all be done via email (which I don't have yet.)

Money won't arrive until at least the start of June. Plus, there seems to be some debate as to whether I file my hours on a electronic system or an old-fashioned time sheet. Still, once the pump is primed, weekly pay will be fun.

The phone just rang. But not for me or anyone on my team.
