I think I've settled into the new job rather well. It's been 6 weeks and I'm still loving going to work everyday. I do get exasperated about a couple of things that go on every now and then, but I just shrug it off to being part of the profession and know it'll be gone and something new will come along a little later.

I've managed to get approval for a little bit of overtime each week. There's a main player out until maybe the end of July and I feel with my being new and still catching on to a few things, some of the mundane, day-to-day things (like filing and closing out accounts) are getting pushed to the side and I fear them buiding up. So I asked for 30 minutes overtime each day to work on nothing but that. It also has been helping me feel a little less overwhelmed, since I don't worry about. Only one day, since approval, have I worked on regular "stuff" instead of the things I specifically asked for the overtime for.

As to the adjustments, the new job has thrown a wrench in my fitness schedule, plus the paydays are twice a month instead of every other Friday and that's thrown my calculating schedule off. I feel like things are getting paid off slower now instead of at a steady pace.
