Work: Since when do I drink coffee?
I started working for Digitell, Inc. this week. I sent an email stating I’m finished with school and am looking for work in Jamestown related to my field. A few days later I was asked to come in for an interview – very surprising, as I had no knowledge they needed help. In fact, the need for new personnel hadn’t even been announced. So, I came in last Thursday.
As usual, I was strangely calm in a situation where I should have been stressed. I worried before, I worried after, but I set that aside at the time. There were no other interviews for the position, and it ended with “We’ll see you Monday.”
Crap… I’m still living in Findley Lake. My internship hours aren’t turned in yet, though I have them completed. I have a job in Jamestown starting in a few days. I’m hungry… so much to do in very little time. This doesn’t even include work I have for other clients. So, I started with the obvious. Move back to Jamestown.
It’s strange being back home. As has been the case for the past two years, most of my time there is spent sleeping –but it’s home once again. It’s essentially come down to home being wherever my computer is. Hopefully that doesn’t become too confusing once I have a laptop, which I estimate to be two to three months.
Now, about work…
For the first few days it wasn’t too exciting. Just learning how things are run, moving from workstation to workstation because I don’t have my own and need to use whatever is free, and doing whatever is asked of me. Oh, and my usual habit of picking up on things rather quickly. I just don’t know what I’m going to do Monday once everybody is supposed to be back in the office.
I keep mentioning that I have no problems working on a Macintosh. Nice big G5… shiny. That thing puts out a lot of heat.
Aside from having to wake up at 7 AM again, the only real change in the past week is that I drink coffee a little more often. Caffeine is a good thing, and if it’s strong enough to burn more than vodka you can’t really tell it tastes like dirt.
Things don’t seem too bad any more.
