A New Day 2.26.2007 | 0 Comment(s)

I started my new job today and to say I'm overwhelmed would be an understatement. I hate being the new guy, but everyone I met today seems really cool. I'm excited to dig in and prove myself.

St. Louis Center...worst area downtown. We walked past it today on our way to lunch and it's just nasty. Everything about it reeks of decay and the faster it is disposed of the better. Even if it was brand new, the mall creates lots of spaces that feel very un welcoming. More people on the sidewalk would take away from that feeling of uneasiness, but I don't think that fact would help too much. The common spaces feel very utilitarian and sterile, like the spaces weren't made for hanging around in.

Anyway, this isn't anything you haven't heard before and I'm honestly too tired to go into more detail. I'm excited and exhausted. I'm feeling good about my choice to change jobs. I think it's all going to work out.
