First day on level 11

Same job, but I had jitters about starting on a new level, with new people, doing new work.

But like routine, I waltzed into level 10, somewhat sad that it would soon be coming to an end. I started packing and moving my stuff to level 11, but for the most part of the first half of the day, I spent time on level 10.

Eventually I finished moving and was settled into my new room, but it still felt a bit odd. The structure of the floor was the same, but it...wasn't. I met my new supervisor Gina, who is leaving in a few weeks and they reckon Ogre will be my new supervisor. Great.

I had a positive outlook with Gina, and felt like she could be my Alanna.

I think I probably annoyed Michael a bit with the trouble caused by level 10 wanting me to take my hearings, and I felt like I was an innocent bystander caught in the middle of crossfire between levels 10 and 11.

In the afternoon Mary took me around the level and introduced me to everyone. Some people had already come by to say hi. That Moira girl was the first, and although I find her to be quite cheery and extroverted, at the same time I found her kinda loud and annoying, and I didn't know how to deal with her.

Then Christina (who calls herself Chris) came by. She was a lot prettier than I had imagined. She had a real friendly vibe to her, but it was probably too much - I knew she just wanted to check out my background. She said something about me having lots of experience and wondering why I started on level 10.

When Mary introduced me to Bent, that was it. I acted civil, but deep down I was thinking I'd kill him in an instant. Turns out he was also involved in the big trial, but never got to go to court for it!!! So who's bigger now?

The biggest change was definitely the work. I was so used to the routine in level 10, that such a change has now given me a headache. It felt like I was staring at the file not knowing what to do with it. They had given me like five files and it felt like hundreds. I was suddenly rushed, and stressed.

I wanted to go home at 5pm, but finishing off my level 10 work meant I stayed till afterb 6pm.

I bumped into Lemon on the bus (uhhh...) and talked to her during the trip. Found her a bit more bearable now, although didn't like it when she reached for my pass to check it out.

I gave Shuing a call because he had called me a few hours earlier, said he just wanted to meet up in the city earlier. I said I'd try to organise a lunch on Saturday and he didn't sound too keen on it. Such a recluse he's become.
