Not bad - a bit angsty
job started today and on the way home my ipod played 'No Surprises' which along with 'Fitter, Happier' which have always haunted me and whenever I fear settling.

Did you have more work today?

I did. Luckily I had Radio 4 to sustain me
How was the job?

I just also had some food. I'm not sure if it was actually delicious or if it just tasted delicious because it was food

oh work was OK, my To Do list is long already
I've been there a year and a half, so it was only different in that it was the first day I was permanent, which is a bigger deal in my head than it should be.

You just made quite a philosophical point there - take more of a zen approach and just accept the deliciousness for what it is

Permanence is good :)
you can still leave if you want but you have some security.

It was indeed delicious. I didn't take lunch to work so I only had a cereal bar, and in a move of sheer disgustingness licked the flavouring off half a bag of crisps

but flavour is the good bit of crisps!
permanence is scary

Exactly
I'm trying to break my crisp habit thus the measure.

Is it the permanence that is scary, or the permanence of that particular job?

permanence in general
this is my first full time permanent job in 10 years and the first one I've considered would be long term. It's got a salary and everything.
