41 Days IN The Hole
Well, so far... so not too bad. ;)
Been here ["here" being back in the soon-to-be-frozen tundra of NorthEastern Indiana] for six weeks, as I officially started on 01 August 05 at new job just East of Columbia City.
The position is much more in-depth, and potentially complex, than I expected - and trust me, I expected quite a bit. While the overall process is not that complicated, the details, and how they all interact with each other, is highly complicated. So many variables - so many means for the product to be compromised. And, as the head of the Quality Department, along with having the duties of Process Engineering manager, there is much to learn, do, and implement.
All this, coupled with the leading of a Six Sigma Green Belt team, selling our previous home in 'bama, buying new one in this area, moving the goods and fam from thar to here, accrimating to a new political and personal interaction scene, and supervising a diverse group of lab technicians is keeping moi semi-very busy. And of course, I desire to learn and know everything about everything... now! At times, would like to rid myself of this overactive analytical curious mind that I have...
However, all is progressing, hopefully, in the correct path. There have been some minor-to-frustrating issues, mostly regarded to the new home buying process. Have picked out one, has a small pond, semi-secluded house, ~3 acres, single-story w/ full walk-out basement. Schools for the boys seem to be very positive, neighbor is good. So, things there are going alright.
Just keep pluggin' away, learning and making it all happen and come together.

Hey, just ran across your blog by accident. (I know that sounds like a spambot, but I AM NOT) Since you are into caving, here's a blog you might like http://backshot.blogspot.com/ its based in SE KY, but has some interesting things from all over.
And if you want an occasional laugh or link, com see my blog.
Good luck with the new job!
Oh introspective one, the wheel of life is continuously turning. Word on the grapevine has it that Doe Run is accepting applications for a Metallurgist. You may as well go for it-maybe the Burro de Minos will reactivate and.....?
Oh! Whilst I commenteth, you need to update your "about me' location since you've withdrawn your troops from Dixie. To pick nits further, why is the word shadow in the title of your blog possessive? and what is it possessing? (I hope you realize that I am ignoring your intentional typos) Sorry to rant...
