Hello Everyone

Hi, I'm just taking this blissfully uninterrupted moment to write a note saying 'hi' and 'i'm not dead or anything'.
To comment on a few things before I forget:
YES the office was awesome.
OMG i have been thinking every night about 'what I have to do tonight before I go back to get ready for work tomorrow' EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING. I realized very belatedly this was something I have termed "Homework Conditioning", a disorder not unlike mental carpal tunnel which causes one to worry incessantly if there is no homework to be done because of a lifetime of repeated homeworkings.
Unfortunately, I don't know where the heck my time GOES after five... I suspect a vortex sucking the fabric of space into the drain in my basement. Nothing has convinced me of an alternative explantation, so I'm going with that.
Anyway, I really like my job. I am (knock on wood) relatively stress free, but I STILL don't 'have any people' yet, and I keep reminding myself regardless of the 'reason' or randomness behind this, I should use this free time to the fullest to get to know resources and people and become comfortable in my environment. So I'm not torn up about it.
I'm enjoying the environment-- because learning is encouraged and neccesary. It seems like the 'how to deal with people' stuff is kindof trial-by-fire... which is mildly disconcerting to me. Although It's not like counseling where there are different kinds of constraints... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have a JOB to do with these people, an objective that's very concrete, EX: help them get into housing. Because of course it's not like there can't be or shouldn't be goals in therapy, they're just more like "feel better, process X, acknowledge Y problem". Anyway, I think I've made my general point.
I am still wary of joking around with the staff... which, frankly, tends to share my sense of humor. I just am not to the point where I can say something terribly sarcastic... Whenever I play it out in my head I realize if they don't get it, things could go badly. So... babysteps.
I am thinking about everybody-- I have started like five letters-- I rented a Yoga video from the library that I haven't gotten to yet. I may do some tonight since mowing didn't make me as tired as I anticipated. I am taking the stairs at work, which I enjoy and is not overly tiring. Most people do not, and so it makes me feel kinda badass.
Currently, mom is driving home from school after which we are going to taco bell, which I have had a craving for all week (PMS or ovulation or something.. it's weird). I am going to get two cheezy bean and rice burritos... makes me remember those late night runs in Cville. ::sigh::.
I went to the Henry Street
