Tomorrow I embark on my great odyssey into the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. It's not an internship any longer, however, as my existing contracting work caused some problems. Apparently, they can't really have someone both as an intern and as a contractor. While I'm somewhat mortified that I caused so many problems, I'm quite flattered that they wanted me enough to change the position to fit my unique situation.
So, I start tomorrow. I'll be going to Cheyenne (around 50 miles away) first thing in the morning, but I'm still not sure exactly what my schedule will be. I imagine that will be one of the first things they will want to sort out with me, and I'm looking forward to having some idea so I can have some stability. Overall, all this tobacco stuff is starting to look fun. It appears that my primary focus will be on smokeless tobacco. It sounds like it will be engaging work and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm not looking forward to the commute, so much, but I'll look into whether, because I'm a contractor, the mileage is tax deductible. That might cheer me up about the commute.
Anyway, that's about it. I'm hoping that I'll be able to start running again pretty soon. I started a couple weeks ago, now that I'm in good enough shape to allow it, but my feet weren't prepared to take that kind of beating. New shoes helped a bit. I expect my feet will toughen up straight away. Oh, and for anyone interested in gifting me, I think that a Wine of the Month subscription from Wine.com would be absolutely brilliant. I'm adding it to the page on this site wherein I shamelessly beg for stuff. That's it, I'll be back maybe tomorrow with a sweet little description of what I expect to be my superfun first day in my new job.
