This week marks my third since moving to Redmond. In the interim, I've started a new job (reprising my role as a software engineer), packed, moved, and partially recovered from a communal living situation gone horribly wrong.
For the first time since I left my former employer, I have my own apartment, situated happily near work.* I also moved relatively close to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kistaro and blackvoiddragon, both of whom were terrific in helping me juggle my personal belongings and sanity during the transition.
Thanks for that!**
This had originally been a much longer (and earlier) post. However, given the residual effects of social dysphoria and the general ennui of moving, I'm deferring the details for now.
Fortunately, I have all the time in the world to recover.

* Leaving a stable, reasonably paying job as an engineer, in this economy, wasn't easy. It was the right decision, for reasons I'll discuss at a later time.
** Okay, you deserve a bit more thanks than that, as you both know. ;)
