Thanks for the 'smelly' tip.

For as much as I dug in my heels, I actually like my job, for once.  It 
is really nice to work for a 'green' company for a change.  My coworkers 
are all competent and nice and my boss hasn't yelled at me yet, so all 
is good. I'm still not doing all that I was hired to do-- I'm just 
easing into more and more responsibility each week as I learn new 
things.  My job is being created for me, by me, so to speak.  I really 
can't complain, yet.  When I get weighted down with lab projects, I 
suppose I'll start complaining, but not yet.  One of my co-workers is 
also really into gardening, so at least there is a kindred spirit there 
when I miss playing in the dirt.  He's introduced me to Japanese 
persimmons, and I'll be ordering one from Stark soon.  He's also 
promised me a Pawpaw seedling.  Woo hoo!

How is YOUR job going?
