And there was dark, and there was light - another day

Things have evened out and my S.O. and I have mostly stopped bickering. It has been nice to finally be at peace with each other. Some friends of mine, who have been married for some years, keep telling me that everything is cyclical. And it's true. Day and night, high tide and low tide, and happiness and angst at home.

I started my new job some months ago and am continually amazed by the attitude of those in my new office. They seem to get along well and they make continual jokes and fun of each other. They also shake their heads at each other and, to some extent, it makes me think of a family: everyone is crazy but you put up with them as good naturedly as possible. Of course, I've only been here to months so my rose colored glasses are still on. It's just a question of making it to the next cycle.
