1. My only complaint about my new job is that it is freezing in here. Well... that and the decaf coffee sucks. I think I need to start stopping at Caribou in the morning to get coffee.
2. I finished both my taxes and all my benefit paper work this weekend. All I have left is to rollover my 401k into an IRA and I should be done with this job change. I think. I am sure there is something else I am forgetting.
3. I was weird while filling out all my benefit forms to put Zach in the beneficiary line. My sister or parents have always been there before.
4. I was saving 12% of my income in my 401k because it was easy but I am thinking that I am going to do less (the amount that they match - 6%) and start putting some in a RothIRA. I am also thinking that I could split the amount I was saving and open an account in my name now and once we are married open an account in Zach's name. Though I think he has been debating opening his own account once he gets rid of his car.
5. I know this sounds funny but I am looking forward to the day that we are a one car family. At this phase in our lives we only need one car and the second one is a burden. We have to move it all the time, paying insurance on a car that is driven once a week is annoying and we just got the notice that the tab renewal is due. It is a nice car and we should be able to get a decent amount for it, which is good since Zach wants to buy a road bike with the proceeds from it (which makes sense, it is his main form of transportation now).
6. I am really looking forward to when I get integrated into my new job. I have work here but it doesn't really take me that long and so I have a lot of slack time. I hate those times. It is one thing to slack off at work, it is another to want to have a project and not really have anything. Still, I think by next week I should be up to speed.
7. One of the big pluses to this job is there is a grocery store two blocks from it which is right on my way home. This is awesome for stopping for dinner ingredients. Still, this store is in Plymouth so their "ethnic" selection isn't as large as I would like it and while I was waiting to check out last week the two people in front of me wrote checks.
8. I need to bring my soup bowl and soup into work. Though the cafeteria has a salad bar.
9. Tonight is my last machine quilting class. I didn't get as much practice on quilting in the last week as I hoped I would but starting a new job is tiring. However, I learned that it is really hard and that I am going to be quilting with a walking foot for a while and practicing a lot before I attempt freemotion on a real quilt.
10. I don't know if I mentioned this but I have a window at my cube now. It is fun to look out of it and watch the cars drive by.

What's it like to work somewhere with a cafeteria? That seems so COOL! Though my work is across the street from an upscale grocery, the (to DIE for) sandwiches cost $7 and I have to enjoy them in moderation. The rest of the time, it's packed lunches!

I think the savings and lack of hassel of moving in the winter will outweigh the annoyance of not having a second car. Plus, if it turns out we need a second one, we can always get another one. (hopefully in 4 years when mine is paid off).

2. Try to get some decent decaf for everyone. Then when everyone's used to it, stop. Then when everyone complains that the coffee sucks again, they'll get better coffee!
Or something.
