So how's everyone doing?

I expected my social life to change when work started, but I'm surprised at how much exactly. As I'm slowly getting the hang of things, I'm meeting a lot of friends at and around work. I hang out with colleagues and industry contacts more than my old friends from before work. Jenny's still permanently on my 'last 5 numbers dialled' list, but I've had difficulty making time even to see my parents, much less all the old friends. Back when I was a bum, I couldn't make enough friends. But now that my free time has been drastically slashed to a mere fraction of what it was before, it's almost a matter of 'MSN, work lunch, or BUST!'

But I'll always love you guys. Just because I haven't been camping on your doorstep like I used to, it doesn't mean I'm not always thinking about hanging out. I just really haven't found a way to fit it in yet.
