Do you find you book yourself too tight? Or is this a newbie thing?
There are stages you go through when you finally move to TV. Euphoria, exhaustion from shopping for house stuff and getting contractor estimates, more euphoria, trying to jam every activity and club into the first three months, pride in showing your new home and TV off to visitors, more exhaustion and euphoria. After three months I was so burned out I had to take a little sabbatical and decide on some priorities.

After a while it strikes you that this isn't a vacation, it's your new life. And then I think everything falls into perspective.

Enjoy the first months in TV, it's just like falling in love!
