first day at kindie...

remember your first day at kindergarden? you were kinda excited, but kinda scared at the same time...

well, today was nothing like that. i just - went back to work. it felt - not good, not bad - it was just, i guess, the right place to be.

of course, it was only my first day. i enjoyed the sociability of it. ignored the politics mostly, while making some i hope astute politik movements towards some of the people who it looked will be good to have onside.

on the way home in the subway - i felt - good. like i had finally engaged bangkok... i felt like i belonged, rather than that i was swimming undetected beneath the currents...

my commute, b.t.w. is good - left front door at 8:16. 2 minute wait for elevator. 1 minute elevator ride. 1 minute walk to bike taxi. 3 minute bike taxi ride to station (10Baht). 5 minute wait for subway - airconditioned platform. 8 minute subway ride - not crowded, airconditioned carriage(14Baht). 10 minute walk to work. not unpleasant at all.

i feel like a grown up again!

will i ever go back to my leisurely life? i hope so. if i can alternate between periods of intense laziness and regular work, i will be happy...
