The experience out there was more interesting than I expected. I&#8217;ve been to Forest Park a number of times but it never made much of an impression, for some reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other news&#8230; I&#8217;m liking the new job here. I think I&#8217;ll fit in well enough once everyone gets it that I&#8217;m no extrovert. Yesterday there were numerous instances of everyone laughing hysterically at stuff while I sat there blinking my eyes. I sense that some people are surprised I got bumped up here so quickly. Most people were at this company for several years before moving anywhere else. I was actually hired for this about 8 months ago, meaning I&#8217;d only been here 1 year. As things go in the world of work I was told 8 months ago I would start in 2 weeks. I almost quit at least twice. But held on. It&#8217;s not a glory job. I&#8217;m not a career guy. I just need to prove I can hold down a job and advance within so I can get another gig that pays a living wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting my Forest Park video ready.
