I am way very out of it right now

Remember when I was all bored and stuff and didn't have a whole lot to do at work for say, oh, three months or so?  Apparently I am now being either punished or rewarded for that experience.  I am not sure which.  

A few weeks ago, I had a little chat with my new (and might I add, fabulous!! new boss) and told him that I what I really wanted was a nice challenge to sink my teeth into.  I told him that the work that I had being doing was't using my skill set to the best advantage of either my career or the company.  I told him that I wanted to work with people that I hadn't worked with before.  Or in a very long time at least.  A specific group of people that I had been wishing to work with, cause their projects are interesting and challenging and cool.  Maybe not cool to you, but cool to me.  Cause I am a geek.  

So now .... oh the now.  Now I have new.  New team, new co-workers, new boss.  New project, new challenge, new obstacles, new learning.  And it is either going to be a great experience that has the potential to make my career (seriously ... if this goes well, my reputation will be solid), or I am going to fall flat on my face.  I don't think it will be the second one, though, no matter how much it sometimes feels like it will be.  The simple truth of the matter is that I am pretty good at what I do.  So as long as I remember to keep asking questions, I should be ok.  

I will, however, be veeerrrrryyyy busy for a while.  Busy like I may never have been at work before.  But, like I said, I wanted a challenge.  

I done got one.
