Working in the South

So I started a new job here in the South and things sure are different. First of all I am working for the public sector and that is never very fun because of all the rules the government has. The people that I work with don't really understand me or my humor. They do not understand sarcasm and take things too literal. They know the entire genealogy of the town and that is how people are described. For me since I don't know anyone or the mother's brother's third cousin it makes it hard to join in the conversation. They explain the same thing about forty two times and it takes a hour each time! Don't get me wrong the people that I work with are nice but they are very different from any group that I have worked with before. We will see how this all goes but for now but for now it is an uninspiring and not very fun place to work...I hope it gets better but I am not holding my breath.
