I've been in my new job for just over a year now. Curiously, I'm probably under even more stress than I was in the old job, and getting even less sleep. But it's a different kind of stress. It's the kind I can do something about and feel good when I've dealt with it. I work with managers who know what they're doing, and who are comfortable with who and what they are and don't find it necessary to try to emulate a role model. A few weeks ago, I told my senior manager that I'm happier with my job now than I've been in several years. I guess I must have been the first person in this company to make that statement in a long time. He seemed truly stunned.

The executor job still isn't behind me. The workload has been considerably reduced but occasional crises still erupt.

Now the major focus is on college. It looks fairly certain it will be a conservatory. This is all unfamiliar territory for me. We'll need to visit lots of colleges. I've never understood the purpose of visiting colleges. All you can see are buildings. What are you supposed to look for when you visit? It's kind of like test driving a new car before buying. I never do that either. It's easier to get the information you need from the Internet.
