About Today
Well, two months to the day that I was laid off from my old company, I start a brand-new job tomorrow. Instead of a short 5 minute drive to work, I’ll have a 45 minute light rail ride instead. No worries … I have my iPod and noise-cancelling earphones. Anyway, wish me luck on my new endeavor!
