Well, adaptations are being made. <\/p>\n
It’s actually turning out really well. It is sucking away my time like nobody’s business. I was given an excel assignment which could be done the easy but tedious way. I took it as a challenge to automate. I used visual basic for the first time. It is now far less tedious. I suspect I’ll also be finished with it faster than they expected. *pat self on back* But my skeptical wariness of the whole situation is fading. No, I don’t like the cube farm aspect, but it’s tolerable. It helps that the cube farm here involves smaller, more separated clusters, rather than the giant open prairie at motorola. It also helps that I’m not working and living in suburban hell. And, as much as I can tell from a day and a half of work distinctly unlike most of the work I’ll be doing, the works not too bad. My coworkers are reasonable and strike me as unlikely to vote for someone “because the other guy sounds boring.”<\/p>\n
But it’s definitely not just a different job situation. I’ve changed significantly in the past 4 years. A little older, a little wiser, a little more worn. I’m more patient and less allergic to small talk. *shrug* <\/p>\n
My poverty is on its way towards alleviation. Yay for mom mailing a check. Yay for living in a town where the mail gets to quickly. Yay for an atm that takes deposits for my bank within easy walking distance. Also, I have cash. Albeit, the cash is intended to cover my food and transportation monday, tuesday, and wednesday. Well, okay.<\/p>\n
Oh yeah. I’m at le chateau d’ ETA: It’s also the first time in a looong time that I’ve shaved for 4 consecutive days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, adaptations are being made.
