Today was my first day of work at my new job, which is essentially my old job with a different title. As a first day, it was not full of especially good omens: my iPod was on the fritz, several deadlines drew closer without much getting resolved, and two walleye fillets, with a side of tartar sauce, decided to spend the day in my fridge up in White Bear.

Ridiculously loud weather tonight; I'm sure I'll be picking my potted plants off the ground come morning.
