Interesting day

selenayI found my way to the new office - go me! All my stuff made it to my new office - yay! This is particularly good because my stuff includes some personal items (books, box of tea, bar of chocolate, Atlantis coaster...) that I wouldn't have wanted to lose.
The day was pretty exhausting and the new painkillers definitely aren't keeping me pain free, but it's a case of 3 to 4 on a scale of 10 as opposed to a 9, which is where I was precisely a week ago. The only annoying side-effects from these painkillers are a slight taste in my mouth and a tendency towards grogginess in the afternoon. Much better than the previous batch. I don't want to be doing this commute for a great length of time, though, because I can tell that it's not doing my back any favours.
To that end, I've had an amazing six recruiters call about my CV after having it on a couple of job sites for 24 hours. This is rather surprising and pleasing. Of those, one job sounded very interesting and I've written back to the recruiter already. I had a chat with another recruiter about a position that's interviewing on Thursday, but have decided to turn it down. The commute was still fairly long and the position wasn't even close to ideal. With this much interest so quickly, I think that I can afford to only go for positions that I'm really interested in. Financially, I'm good, and the current job is going to kill me, at least for another couple of months. I want something that's right this time. And there's no point taking time out from my current job for interviews for jobs that I'm already sure won't be right.
Now I will have a quick lie down and enjoy my bad medical dramas while recovering from the first day.
