I have a new job. The factory makes two things: hanging file folders and index cards. Right now I'm in the department that makes the plastic tabs that helps one organize the folders.

I happen to really like my job.

It's first shift, so I work 7am-3:20pm. I dropped fairly quickly into the right sleep schedule, and even woke up at 5:30 voluntarily. Of course, I'm dead to the world by 8, but I have supper with my family, and we have fauxTivo.

But the biggest reason why I like my job is that I'm not in a position that's filled with temp/summer workers. That means that the people that I work with actually care a little bit about the job, and don't endlessly go on about how much it sucks.

And I'm only working 40 hours a week, and not 56. It's less money - probably going to be significantly less - but I consider that well worth it. I don't have to spend every hour either at work or thinking about going into work.

Do we sing to make us happy, or do we sing because we're happy?
