My First Week of REAL Work
Damn it’s tiring waking up at 6:30 all week!
I used to have to get up at 6:30 a few summers ago for my part time job but that was about three times a week tops. Now it’s five days a week for the next four months.
And then I get home and it’s 7-8ish most of the time, a few short hours and I’m off to sleep. Those hours are usually spent watching TV, which I haven’t done too regularly (missed an episode of 30 rock already) and playing on my computer.
And it’s usually not long sessions of gaming like I’m used to. I’ll play Unreal Tournament 3 for a few hours then stop. Then wonder what to do. Then I’ll start again.
I actually did some work from work on Friday. Out of interest and out of boredom.
That said, work hasn’t been too hard at all. A bit of a learning curve but I’m familiar with half of the stuff already and have easily learned everything thrown at me so far. Tuesday was actually terribly boring because everyone except the co-ops were out of the office yet I hadn’t learned enough to actually do any work yet. So I did the one thing that I had assigned to me… multiple times. And I played some games. And I talked with the other co-ops.
Great guys at work, laid back, and the “work” I’m doing is really just playing around with systems which is the kind of thing I love to do in my spare time anyway. This is going to be a great four months.
