Part of the gang again
So I got to Mitsuwa(this japanese foodcourt thang near work) and was going to my normal curry spot and some other coworkers(the programming group), called me out. They had an extra seat where they were eating and invited me to eat with them. And they asked if I ate out a lot and that they'd show me around. They made me feel totally included and all of them kept asking me questions...it was really cool. The initial plan was that I was just going to resign to eating alone and reading some more of my book, but I much rather enjoyed the company. I know my group didn't intentionally, well at least I hope not, leave me out, but at least I have more people to go to lunch with too...

Next, please
I got moved to another project...I was originally working on an aftermarket model, but now I am assigned for the next few weeks to help out the Honda OEM dudes. Man, switching platforms is tough...I got really accustomed to using the 871, so much that I could teach practically anyone how to use it...and now, I feel like it's my first day again, learning this new equipment...dang...the challenges of moving forward...a big part of it has to do w/ my Supervisor on this project, I'd have to say. He's really an expert on this system, but I think he assumes that I understand everything he says...he talks real fast too. But, they told me to ask questions when I didn't understand anything, so I'm asking questions all the time...and I think he's getting annoyed. But oh well, I'd rather annoy him and clarify uncertain issues than assume stuff and then look like an a**. The allergies seem to have taken a break...I hope it's a permanent one, but there seems to be a foreboding way in the back of my head that's saying, "this is ONLY the beginning, MUAH HA HA HA HA!!!" Ohhhhh, I loathe this season sometimes...
